eMMissaries are industry leaders who are screened, selected, and trained through a five-month cohort style leader(ship) developmental curriculum to join our 'virtuous insurgency' for mentorship. We equip eMMissaries with tools, we do not match mentors/mentees.
​
Each eMMissary elevates their mentorship intellect by reading, researching, and writing an article on a topic of their choosing to be published on our website. Each eMMissary facilitates their application of mentorship or leadership through their iMMpact project, enabling the practical application of leadership, influence, and project management skills.​​

WHAT LEADERS SAY
Thomas Bishop

Founder & Executive Director
Fré Yo
Mentorship Nonprofit
The eMMissary program gave me the confidence and the skills to start my own nonprofit dedicated to supporting young disadvantaged youth. Fre Yo has helped students get into college, receive scholarships, transition into and from the military, youth experiencing homelessness, and youth in juvenile detention.
Jeff Newsome
Cohort 10
Army Officer
The eMMissary program sent me on a transformative journey rooted in emotional intelligence and mentoring. It helped me confront my own barriers, including the struggle of finding my purpose, which I later captured in an article to inspire others. This growth led me to start a weekly “Mentorship Minutes” initiative—designed to give back, spark reflection, and encourage authentic leadership. eMMissary wasn’t just a program—it was the catalyst that unlocked the power of self-awareness, empathy, and social connection in my personal and professional life.
Carl Ellsworth
Cohort 11
Naval Officer
Having been a part of the eMMisary program, the final portion of my naval career and new role as an airline pilot have been much more meaningful and transformed me to have a deeper and lasting impact in my work. It expanded my mental mindset and had a profound effect on how I viewed and carried out my roles in the military and beyond. Primarily, I truly saw the ripple effects that every interaction had, and so challenged myself and subordinates to lift as they climb, see the value that each team member brings, be engaging leaders, and continuously learn with a humble yet courageous heart. The program came at a perfect time in my career after a tour that left me slightly jaded, and instead invigorated me to step into my next duty as a squadron commanding officer with passion, ultimately helping me to view an extremely challenging tour and combat deployment as a privilege instead of a chore.
