On one hand, our programs are structured and facilitated in a way to maintain high levels of engagement (a factor most commonly missing in formal mentoring programs), on the other, they are fluid and bespoke.

We strive to provide tangible learning and development for both mentors and mentees, focusing on leadership skills and capabilities (including coaching and communication skills) and using the Leadership Shapers Mentoring Activation Framework for high-impact mentoring.

In summary, our programs include:

A platform to manage the program end-to-end, tracking, reporting and pulse surveys
Mentor & mentee training, program launch, wrap up and group sessions
A Mentoring Activation Profile (MAP) and individual support as needed for each mentor
Tailored tools and resources which reflect the needs of the cohort as they arise
Promotion and showcasing of your program
