Mentoring

We believe that there is a clear difference between coaching and mentoring. The purpose of both is to improve performance, gain greater personal understanding, and to be more effective at work. Our mentors support development by using their direct experience of the challenges faced by our clients. The more technical the focus of a client’s question, the more a mentor will be able to help.

Some of our recent mentoring assignments include:

• a chief executive introducing a new performance monitoring system
• a redeployed manager moving to a new professional area
• a chief officer given a month to improve.

Mentors are more likely to work with clients from their own professional discipline, and their qualifications are likely to be related to that profession.

We offer a choice of mentor to establish a strong working alliance and a relationship of trust and agree a ‘development contract’ at the outset to clarify goals and timescales.
