• Mentors signed up to in -house mentoring programmes

InterCHANGE will discuss your objectives and design the mentor training to meet specific requirements.

How will the organisation benefit?

Mentoring activity inspires and encourages conscious and continual learning.   Constructive and balanced self-reflection becomes habitual with people asking:  What went well? What could I do differently next time?  Why did I get anxious in that meeting?  How can I support myself better next time so I can contribute more decisively?  What is irritating me about this person’s behaviour and what do I need to say?

When a learning organisation is cultivated difficulties tend to be resolved more quickly, relationships based on integrity grow, rapid sharing of ideas spark innovation and teams can respond to opportunities and challenges in changing environments.
