First 30 Days as an ADPList Ambassador
For the Summer Cohort ‘21 ambassadors, we are now almost 3 months into our ambassadorship, and it feels great to look back on the experiences we’ve had until now. For all of us, joining ADPList was an opportunity to promote and encourage mentorship in different ways whilst also joining an inclusive and warm community, and we are thankful we got that opportunity.
We also hope to encourage anyone reading who might be interested in becoming an ambassador! Feel free to learn more about what makes this initiative so great here. Interested in applying? The application link can be found here.
Lisa’s 30 Days
My first 30 Days as an ADPList Ambassador were amazing. I remember meeting my fellow ambassadors on day one. I entered a Zoom room filled with young and ambitious people ready to invest their skills and time in a common cause. Since that day, I have been chatting and collaborating with them weekly and absolutely cherish being part of this new community.
When I started out as a UX Designer, I didn’t know where to look for guidance or mentorship and chose to sign up for a Bootcamp like so many others. Being able to book free mentor sessions on ADPList will hopefully allow more people to study on their own and receive valuable feedback along the way.

Elsa’s 30 Days
My first 30 days flew by so quickly that it was honestly surprising. Time really does fly when you’re doing something fun. During my initial month with ADPList, I enjoyed getting to know my fellow ambassadors and the community team. What really stood out to me was how passionate everyone was about ADPList; it felt great to be working alongside people who had a strong conviction for the same goal: democratizing mentorship.
I also felt incredibly inspired by my peers. In the first 30 days, I learned so much by watching everyone showcase their strengths. It made me want to be more confident too, especially in how I represented myself as an ambassador. I’m still thankful that I was chosen to be a part of the Summer Cohort ‘21, and continue to look forward to how we can continue to spread the values of mentorship to a global community.

Jason’s 30 Days
My first 30 days as an ADPList ambassador were a lot of fun. It’s essentially being a fanboy of the platform, but having the support of others who share the same passion as you. During my first weeks, I went hard in producing content, sharing LinkedIn posts, writing Medium articles, and creating YouTube videos. Towards the end, I got a little burnt out, but the leadership team here is super supportive of taking breaks, and I was able to lighten my load without feeling like I wasn’t holding up.
Plus, my face is an emoji in the Slack workspace. If that doesn’t tell you how much I love being an ambassador, I don’t know what will.

Denise’s 30 Days
The first 30 days of my ambassadorship were incredibly inspiring. I am surrounded by people with such vibrant experiences & journeys towards career growth and it’s such a positive & nurturing environment that it feels surreal. The first month I was really dedicated to keeping up to speed on ambassador responsibilities & syncing with everybody across timezones. It was quite a personal challenge for me in many ways, as many things involved going outside of my comfort zone, but I feel grateful to be learning from my co-ambassadors & ADPList Community Leads. There are always new perspectives when solving blockers, and strategies in working with a remote global team that I find myself applying in my work & personal life.
Now 2 months in, I continue to learn alongside people with inspiring motivation & dedication on what it means to both build & engage with a global community as well as supporting the mission of democratizing mentorship for all.
