Mentoring

It is easy to let circumstances get in the way and let goals, dreams and hopes become a reality. It is easy to let roadblocks prevent progress, to stumble on, avoiding tricky situations.

For some, imposter syndrome or coping with the fear of failure, without an adequate support system or emphasis on personal development in the workplace, can lead to a lack of confidence and assertiveness and hinder people’s ability to reach for the stars.

Mentoring sessions with Lucy create an environment where she provides a listening ear and the mentee will feel someone is available to:

• Listen, provide empathy and re-assurance
• Help identify problems
• Provide a fresh perspective, seeing an issue through fresh lenses
• Help to make better informed decisions and achieve goals
• Provide additional insights from her personal experiences, vast knowledge and successes

Mentoring can be a very formal process with regular meetings and work towards a specific set of goals. It can also be an informal arrangement, where the mentee calls on the mentor as and when problems or needs arise.

One-to-one or group mentoring sessions with Lucy are organised in a confidential, trusted, private environment where individuals can express their ideas and thoughts. She will provide a sounding board and be a supportive cheerleader.

 

Motivation is the key to action for all of us.

 

Mentoring and the Employer:

Mentoring is one of the most valuable and effective development opportunities a company can offer. It can be a key component in helping employees as they navigate through their career.

Having the guidance, encouragement and support of a trusted and experienced mentor can provide a mentee with strong personal and professional benefits, which ultimately lead to strong and improved performance in the workplace.

Mentoring:

• Helps employees to make better informed decisions and set goals, thereby improving productivity
• Boosts self-confidence of employees within the company
• Creates stronger internal networks and greater collaboration
• Employees are given a confidential and safe space to express and share ideas
• Demonstrates that leadership is willing to invest in time in its employees.
