Overview
The Mentor Skills Programme equips individuals with the practical tools, mindset, and confidence to support someone else’s growth through effective mentoring. It cuts through the vague “just share your experience” idea and shows participants how to guide, challenge, and empower mentees in a structured, meaningful way.
Through real scenarios, reflective practice, and hands-on skill building, participants learn how to mentor with intention — creating relationships that accelerate development and build capability across the organisation.
Who It’s For
This programme is ideal for:
- New or experienced mentors who want to strengthen their approach
- Leaders and professionals supporting early-career talent
- Individuals involved in formal mentoring schemes or informal mentoring relationships
- Anyone who wants to develop others without slipping into advising, rescuing, or directing
If you want to be a mentor people genuinely grow from — not just someone they “check in with” — this is for you.
What You’ll Gain
Participants will:
- Understand the purpose, boundaries, and structure of effective mentoring
- Build confidence in guiding mentees without taking over
- Learn how to balance sharing experience with asking powerful questions
- Develop skills for setting goals, guiding reflection, and tracking progress
- Strengthen rapport-building and trust-creating techniques
- Learn how to navigate challenges, stalls, and mismatched expectations
- Gain clarity on the mentor role — and what mentees need
Programme Highlights
- 1 day or 3 × 2-hour modules delivered over 1–3 weeks

The Outcome
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to run purposeful, structured mentoring conversations that genuinely support growth. They’ll understand how to share insight without dominating, how to encourage ownership, and how to create a developmental relationship that moves people forward.
They’ll walk away ready to mentor with clarity, confidence, and impact.
Flexible Options
