What is a mentor?
A mentor is someone who has expertise in a certain area and who can act as a sounding board, share past experiences, and act as sponsors. A good mentor knows how to listen, be non-judgmental and a trusted confidant. Mentors aren’t there to provide concrete answers but rather to ask meaningful questions, to offer a different perspective, to challenge you or your way of thinking and to offer opinions and advice based on their experience.
How can we help?
Finding a good mentor can be hard to come by. We can help identify and secure mentors that you could benefit from talking to. By ascertaining what kind of coach you are looking for and who may resonate with you we provide a shortlist of potential mentors, talk through them with you, and approach them on your behalf.
If you would be interested in talking to us more about this free service please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
What kind of mentor could work for you?
- A mentor could be someone with a similar background and mindset to your own who will understand the challenges you may face and offer advice and anecdotes around their experience. This can be incredibly helpful as they may also be aware of skill gaps that you are likely to have and the conditioning that you are likely to bring to the table.
- A mentor could also be someone who has an entirely different background, perspective and approach entirely – who challenges you to think differently, who you deliberately talk to in order to look at a problem in a different light.
- Short term mentors may help you at specific points in your career. They may help you if you are facing something particularly challenging either in your personal or your work life. They could have a specific business expertise that you are lacking in or achieved something that you are also looking to achieve.
