Mentoring for Growth

Through our mentoring for growth programme we deliver equal amounts of support and challenge to help ambitious business teams and individuals become more successful. Our mentoring programme is based on establishing a relationship of equality, openness and trust and above all it provides a secure and supportive environment for mentees to explore and develop their careers or businesses. Each session is specifically tailored and can be delivered one-to-one or one-to-many. Some of the key benefits our participants gain include:

• A safe environment to try out new ideas and unpack issues
• A source to stretch and challenge thinking
• Support for ideas, critical reflection, sounding board 
• Increase in self-awareness and understanding
• Increase in confidence and self-esteem
