Personalised services for individuals and corporates
Mentoring has been around for a very long time but that’s because it can be so valuable. Our
mentoring and coaching support can provide the right guidance and at the key time.
Our mentors are experts in helping all types of people achieve their goals and they help
clients from all over the world.
The purpose of mentoring is to develop talent to the best it can be.
Mentoring can include regular meetings to review progress which can be conducted remotely or
in person and help achieve the desired outcomes and objectives.
The mentor or coach will be a point of contact who will help you think and plan ahead. They
can engage with skilled workers and executives and will seek to establish trust, set clear
objectives, and easy communication for feedback. They can help create employee development
programmes that will advance careers and contribute to the success of the enterprise.
Mentoring can be delivered by one or more coaches and be provided on a daily, monthly or
longer period.
The mentoring can be conducted on a virtual basis to fit in with remote working. It can use
digital tools that can automate much of the process. That means mentoring can take place
anywhere in the world and eliminates the need for travel and fixing meeting venues.
For businesses
Your business probably already contains a wealth of knowledge, know-how and experience that
can be harnessed to improve performance. Mentoring can enable employees share insights through
greater interaction and help improve communication across the company. This can lift
motivation, boost productivity, and further career development.
Greater employee interaction also helps in the sharing of ideas, promotes inclusiveness and
lifts output and performance. It improves the organisation’s ability to set goals and better
meet customer expectations.
For start-ups
You may have been thinking of starting a business for a while and finally taken that big step.
We would be happy to help with advice. You may have questions about strategy and marketing,
brand and planning; you can ask our mentors for advice to smoothen out your start-up journey.
For business executives
Mentoring and coaching, of course, isn’t just for start-ups. An operating business may seek
mentoring for its executives, both for personal growth and professional development. This may
be to manage change, to build resilience in the organisation or improve the effectiveness of
its managers. There could be many other reasons. Change has become a feature of the modern
economy and organisations need to continuously evolve to meet challenges like supply
disruptions, policy changes or dislocations caused by events such as the pandemic. Mentoring
can help manage such turbulence.
Coaching and mentoring could also be used to build the effectiveness of teams, to help improve
coordination, enhance support for each other and build an effective coordinated strategy for
greater impact. It can help identify a team’s strengths and weaknesses and develop a vision.
Organisations may also use this for:
- Developing leadership
- Pushing through a change in culture
- Improving diversity and inclusiveness
- Enhancing organizational agility
Mentoring and coaching are also hugely effective in enhancing employee engagement. An
environment where employees don’t feel attached to their companies often leads to decreased
productivity, increased turnover rates and a rise in revenue losses.
And, of course, the most effective form of mentoring and coaching doesn’t involve telling
others what to do, but helping them think independently and directing them to their goal.
Below you will see bios of a couple of our expert mentors but we have many others that can be
selected to meet your needs.
The mentors will agree an affordable fee plan that will suit your circumstances.
