Membership Offering

Access to Mentoring

Joining will give you access to our bespoke mentoring system. You can search for your mentor of choice based on their skills, experience and availability, supporting a fully tailored experience exclusive to you.

We will manage the process and measure success, based on completion of the mentoring relationship and outcome of objectives agreed explicitly by and for you, giving you confidence that the experience will be exactly what you specify.

A mentor is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as an “experienced and trusted advisor”. Mentoring is about helping others develop in a positive way and more effectively. It is a relationship designed to build confidence and support the mentee so that they can take control of their own development and progress. It is trust-based and confidential and should help you to feel valued, represented, productive, self-fulfilled and rewarded;

1. To grow personally and professionally
2. To restructure or reprioritise your life
3. To overcome obstacles and barriers
4. To grow your career
5. Mentoring is not the same as training, teaching or coaching
