Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC)

Props to Ten Thousand Coffees (10KC)

Pros:

I appreciate 10KC for the ease with which I'm able to connect with mentors/mentees on a monthly basis. The pre-populated connection prompts make it easy for me to make that first connection.

Cons:

There aren't any negatives that prevent me from using 10KC as it suits my needs to connect with other people. If I could change one thing I would want the opportunity to customize my own profile to show more of my personality with the ability to change the colour scheme or addition of other media.

Excellent platform to scale and support development programs!

Pros:

The platform is easy to navigate, data is thorough and readily accessible, and the team is highly collaborative and supportive. Leveraging 10KC has made it possible for us to scale and manage our enterprise-wide mentorship and networking program that would otherwise require a full team to manually develop, implement, support and manage. The content that 10KC provides is also incredibly helpful and can be curated to support our program goals without the heavy lift of developing all development content to guide participants.

Cons:

The technology automates messages and reminders to participants - which I LOVE - but I wish we could customize the messages' "sender" information so that it appears to come from someone within our organization. I think it would help employees make a faster connection when they receive communications and would reinforce our internal branding.

Greta customer service!!

Comments: has had an overall positive impact on our organization

Pros:

Customer service - the team we are working with to implement is very organized and helpful. Various functionality accommodating to our requests

Cons:

administrative to use if dont have integrations too many email notifications

10KC: A must-have software for professional growth and development

Comments: Our expectations for using 10KC have been exceeded well beyond what we originally imagined. Networking and mentorship are two of very few top professional growth and development activities, but they can be very time-consuming and bit of hit-or-miss. 10KC successfully eliminates the barriers to excellent networking and mentorship experience. 10KC also includes several other added benefits - such as office hours, scheduling meetings, etc.

Pros:

10KC exceeded my expectations regarding value for participants; the software eliminated guess work that are commonly associated with professional mentorship and networking.

Cons:

I cannot think of what I like least about 10KC at this time.
