Who
benefits from a mentor? Both the individual and
the business.
For
the individual this could be:
through personal feedback
having their assumptions challenged
getting a broader view
developing creative thinking
putting management training into
practice
For
the business this could be:
supporting an individual in a
new role
bringing in specific skills to
support a project
nurturing managers in team empowerment
one to one management development
apolitical, objective feedback
If you are...
accepting your development responsibilities
receptive to constructive feedback
committed to personal growth
committed to continuous learning
willing to share views and thoughts
willing to take risks
...and prepared to commit
time and energy then there will be tangible
benefits derived from having a mentor.
First Steps: Should you feel you would
benefit from talking with a mentor then we
would ask you to complete a short questionnaire
designed to quantify your expectations.
On receipt of the completed questionnaire
we would then contact you to arrange an initial
meeting.
The initial meeting: Is the opportunity to introduce
yourselves and set the relationship into context.
From the questionnaire you will cover topics such
as the ground rules, goals, self assessment and
your aspirations.
'Jeremy's mentoring support has
helped me through a period of considerable personal
and professional change. He provided me with sympathetic,
constructive, and confidential advice, helping
me to address major current workplace issues and
also formulate my own plans for the medium to
longer term. This was my first experience of mentoring
and I must admit to a certain amount of initial
scepticism. However this initial reluctance was
quickly overcome and I came to appreciate the
positive impact that can be gained from a good
mentor like Jeremy.'

Director of Finance and Administration

"After the initial thrill
of the management buyout had sunk in I recognised
that if the business was to grow then I needed
to be able to talk to someone who had a broad
range of experience and whom I could trust to
challenge my assumptions. Mentoring has kept me
focused on the priorities of my new role."
"Mentoring made it possible
to approach the new and complex problems faced
by this hybrid organisation in an analytical and
productuve way. I found the intensive six month
mentoring programme both challenging and refreshing
and continue to make use of the skills gained
on the programme on a day to day basis."
