MENTORING TRAINING & TOOLS
Lack of training and preparation often leads to uncertainty among mentors and mentees. When participants don’t know what’s expected or how to approach mentoring, motivation fades and programmes risk losing their impact. Therefore, a shared understanding of mentoring and the strategic purpose of the programme is an important factor for implementing successful mentoring training.
Our mentoring tools and training are designed to support every stage of the mentoring process, and to ensure a consistent, professional experience across your organisation.
Your organisation and participants gain:
- A common approach to mentoring
- A common language and toolbox for impactful conversations
- A clear structure and guidance that supports commitment and progress
Whether you're starting from scratch or strengthening an existing programme, we’re here to support every step of the way – with proven methods, engaging formats, and hands-on resources.
Our structured approach to training mentors and mentees will increase the strategic impact of your mentoring progammes, whether you are focused on
- Accelerating growth of high potentials and building pipelines.
- Increasing mobility across organisational and geographical boundaries.
- Developing key leadership skills - e.g. the skill of developing talents.
- Promoting a culture of well-being and inclusion.
- Enhancing the value of the employer brand.
The Mentor+Game™ - a powerful tool for increasing the impact of your mentoring
