Carrie Elrick
Meet Your Host!
Carrie is a passionate believer in creating work environments that have impact and prosperity. She aids in developing equity at the social and the policy level to ensure people can bring their best to what they do each day. Her engaging approach works to involve individuals, policymakers, and leaders in creating inclusive policies that enable diversity and equity. She addresses systemic barriers to women’s health and well-being to accelerate their participation in the workforce. Carrie digs deep by working to translate social justice goals into enhancing successful business outcomes.
She has her Master of Social Work in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and her MBA in Service Management. Early in her career, Carrie embraced a framework of policy, practice, and research to inform and evolve her understanding of the challenges women face in the search for equity within societies. She grew this practice by incorporating concepts of belonging and translating the empowerment of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging to identify opportunities for organizations to excel. Her entrepreneurial mindset and business skills enable her to coach and mentor women towards embracing their big audacious goals and get to where they want to go.

Our Goals
Circle Mentoring was created with very clear goals in mind. We are focused on creating a better way to experience the benefits of the mentor/mentee relationship!
Discover
Helping our members discover their truest selves, set goals, and leverage their talents in ways that get them to where they want to go
Contribute
Contributing to widening the worldview of our circle members by providing exposure and meaningful interaction to diverse female perspectives
Equip
Equipping our mentees with the mindsets, skills, voice, and self-expression that is required to overcome obstacles and grow personally and professionally
Create
Creating a new paradigm through the diverse experiences of many women and making progress toward an evolved set of norms, values, beliefs, and mores!
Establish
Establishing a safe environment where women can learn, thrive, support one another, and feel supported in this highly unique community
Change
Changing the dominant narrative by raising awareness an addressing barriers created by systemic oppression, racism, and “othering”
Fundamentals
Our Values
01. We’re Inclusive
We are focused on building an engaged community of women that champions equity and each other!
02. We’re Curious
We encourage our members to dive deep into their ambitions and goals, continually searching for opportunities.
03. We Take Action
We don't just talk about what is possible, we go out there and do it. Our mentors work with mentees to take action toward their goals.
04. We Dream Big
We believe whole heartedly that you can accomplish anything you can imagine and put effort behind; you have to dream it first.
Mentoring Reimagined
Just like Uber revolutionized the cab industry and Netflix improved at-home entertainment, we are committed to innovating the concept of mentorship. We don’t believe that the traditional model is effective and have experienced its many limitations. We thought outside of the box, challenged everything, and made something better!
Dynamic Approach
We leverage a one-to-many model that holds the mentee at the center. We are not reliant on a direct matching (or mismatching) system. Our mentees experience greater satisfaction by drawing from different points of view, experiences, perspectives, and ways of being in the world fueling a process that helps them achieve their goals more quickly.
Revolutionary Mentoring Model
We break down stereotypical roles and belief systems about mentoring. Our older more seasoned women can be a mentee as well as a mentor and vice versa for younger members. We provide easy access to resources that continue to support our members along their journeys.
Safe Space
Our circles take place outside organizations, providing an environment with less groupthink and greater safety to explore growth opportunities. We have a global reach as our interactions are all conducted virtually (for now!) We cultivate sustainable mentoring that transitions into intentional, actionable networking as part of a community of inspiring and connected women.
