While being the mentor in a relationship may sound like a one-way street for development, mentors also regularly report that their own communication skills are enhanced and that the investment they make in their mentee is returned in extended networks, greater insight into the challenges and opportunities available across the broader ecosystem and community, a sense of enhanced purpose and connection to their profession, and an opportunity to spot and nurture talent.

Perhaps you’re interested in gaining greater insight into management and leadership practices and the ability to implement them confidently and flexibly, or perhaps in developing softer skills such as communication, teamwork and time management? Any of these can be supported through mentoring. Being clear of why you would like mentoring helps on achieving the nest match to a mentor.

Entering a mentoring relationship – whether as a mentor or mentee – can feel like a big step. To ensure both individuals get the most from the experience we have developed written resources, guides and videos.
Some of the topics covered are reflective learning, storytelling, confidence and personal power, personal community, and difficult conversations. For mentors, we also offer one to one support so you never feel you’re doing this alone.
