Key Aspect 2 - Guidance, Support, and Encouragement:
“The role of a professional mentor goes beyond simply giving advice. It
involves active support and positive reinforcement.”
I see my role here being to help the mentee recognise the potential they have
still to unlock, to build their confidence, help them celebrate wins along the
way, and to stand with them when things get tough.
Some of my clients need support in raising their voice, internally and
externally. We’re working on them showing up in the workplace, emphasising
their own effectiveness and impact, sometimes being confident enough to say
‘no’.
In some instances, we’re working on them developing an external voice and
presence, finding their tribe and engaging in discussion and debate whilst
building relationships with fellow practitioners and other, more experienced
practitioners, thinkers and commentators – online and face to face.
I’m listening and watching, amplifying and commenting publicly and also
providing individual feedback and encouragement privately.
Some of my clients are people I consider to be my peers, in respect of career
history, experience, seniority and – dare I say it - longevity, whilst others
are at an earlier stage of their professional career.
I meet each of them where they are and we work out from there accordingly.
If any of the above sounds of interest and you think you could benefit from
some professional mentor support, feel free to contact me for a no-obligation
