Mentoring is most often defined as a professional relationship in which an experienced person (the mentor), usually from the same company, assists another (the mentee) in developing specific skills and knowledge that will enhance the less-experienced person’s professional and personal growth. Sharing of experience by the mentee, as well as advice, helps the mentee in new situations. Programs targeted for female leaders will often include mentoring.

A number of our coaches have helped large organisations set up mentoring programs; this includes preparing the overall organisation to mentoring, structuring the program, helping establish criteria for mentor selection, and designing and deploying mentors and mentees training.
