40 x 40 – Celebrating the birthday of our Patron, The Duchess of Sussex

In celebration of the 40^th birthday of our Patron, The Duchess of Sussex, we are delighted to share in a mentoring campaign to help more women re-enter the workplace.  In the words of The Duchess,

“I believe mentorship is one way to help women regain confidence and rebuild their economic strength, and for my birthday, I have asked 40 friends, activists, athletes, artists, and world leaders to help kick off a global effort by contributing 40 minutes of mentorship to support women reentering the workforce. With this time, I hope they each help someone advance a professional life on her own terms, and I hope that they inspire countless others to give 40 minutes of their time.”

The Duchess of Sussex has personally dedicated many hours to supporting and mentoring Smart Works’ clients ahead of their job interviews. We look forward to playing a small part in bringing this initiative to life for the women we exist to help.

Happy birthday to The Duchess from everyone in the Smart Works community.
