"my mentor‘s objectivity and encouragement have contributed to building my confidence to turn our charity from a sinking ship to an (almost) thriving strategic player in the voluntary sector"
we have discussed strategic challenges my organisation faced and looked at outcomes and the journey to get there, through thought provoking and open conversations. I think they have helped me to develop in my role, they have given me confidence in decisions or plans I was making and allowed me to sound off ideas and situations with someone who deals with similar challenges. Thanks to my mentor and South Yorkshire Charity Mentors for what has been a rewarding experience.
"My mentor brought decades of relevant experience to help to navigate a significant strategic challenge...the work had a successful outcome..which exceeded our expectations"
"It’s been really helpful to have someone externally to bounce ideas off and to learn"
I have been really grateful to work with such a knowledgeable and friendly mentor.
It has been a great experience to think through all aspects of my career with someone with such experience.
Working with my mentor has “…helped me to look from a different angle which has really helped me moving forward”
Thank you and I think it is a wonderful and great development opportunity
It’s brilliant
