leadership worth sharing
Connecting with a peer can be hugely beneficial.
Mentoring is a partnership that aims to foster personal and professional growth. It takes commitment and time; and it can be extremely rewarding for both mentee and mentor. A mentor listens and supports the thinking of a mentee, and where appropriate shares their own knowledge, skills and perspectives. All our mentors have experience of being a leader of a charity or CIC.
How it works
Our mentoring process is delivered through an online matching platform. This allows mentees and mentors to upload their profile (including skills, experiences and preferences). The matching process will match requests and mentees will be able to choose which mentor they would like to work with. Mentoring relationships are for a maximum of 12 months and typically meetings take place every six weeks.
Before accessing the platform, we speak to each mentee and mentor to check that mentoring is the most appropriate option. For example, if a member has a challenge or issue that needs immediate help, the better path would be to contact our support service.
Summary of process
In addition to our peer mentoring scheme, we also offer access to business, financial and private sector mentoring in association with the Kilfinan Group and the Worshipful Company of Management Consultants.
Please note our terms and conditions. Supported by CCLA.
Having a peer mentor
