What is MENTORING?

Having a mentor can be one of the most powerful developmental relationships you will ever experience. For example, four out of five chief executives say that having a mentor was one of the keys to their success. Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life and at all stages of their careers are able to point to deep, personalised learning they have obtained from a developmental relationship with someone of substantially greater experience, who has taken a direct interest in them.

Powerful,often transformational mentor relationships have helped young graduates find their feet in an organisation, helped mothers of young children return to work, or enabled young offenders to turn their lives around. People coming up to retirement have been eased through this difficult time, by tapping into the experience of others, who have been through it already.

In short, mentoring can help anybody, who has a major transition to make in his or her life, whoever or wherever they are.
