We're Building The Next Generation Of Transformation Leaders & You're Invited to Become a #TLH Mentor
You have significant experience in delivering change and transformation - that's a given! Why not share this experience with those that are in the early stages of their career within the change and transformation space.
#TLH is launching a Mentoring Scheme - are you interested in getting involved?
What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is the process by which an experienced, highly regarded, empathic person (the mentor) guides another individual (the mentee) in the development and re-examination of their own ideas, learning, and personal and professional development.
The mentor achieves this by listening and talking in confidence with the mentee.
Mentoring relates primarily to the identification and nurturing of potential for the whole person. It can be a long-term relationship, where goals may change. The goals are always based around the needs of the mentee, who also sets the agenda.
The mentor instead helps the mentee to develop insight and understanding through intrinsic observation - that is, becoming more aware of their own experiences.
