Navigating Problems
Mentoring
For small and medium businesses, every person makes a noticeable difference. When someone’s unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck, it doesn’t just affect them. It affects the whole business.
121 mentoring can be an effective solution to these issues.
Mentoring is one person sharing their experience and knowledge to help someone else grow. It’s a trusted relationship and a safe space to work through challenges.
Focused on practical guidance, real-world context and giving you the confidence to make good decisions, even when things feel uncertain.
This can be especially valuable as it can:
- Strengthen decision-making by giving employees someone experienced to talk things through with
- Reduce overwhelm when people face new responsibilities or tricky situations
- Build capability across the business without formal training programmes
- Support wellbeing by giving people space to reflect and reset
- Encourage leadership at all levels
The benefits to your business
People make decisions with more confidence instead of second-guessing.
Tricky situations feel less overwhelming, because there’s guidance.
Communication improves with fewer mixed messages and more honest conversations.
Individuals are calmer and more supported, boosting morale.
People stick around longer because they feel valued and developed.
Save time and avoid headaches, with issues handled earlier and more effectively.
What does our Mentoring service include?
We offer two forms of mentoring – Mentoring for HR or Peer Mentoring.
Mentoring for HR
Designed for people who handle HR but don’t always have someone to check in with. This could be a solo HR professional, an office manager, or someone who’s become the default “HR person”.
HR Mentoring provides:
- A confidential place to work through sensitive HR challenges
- Guidance on best practice and fair decision-making
- Support for building simple, effective HR processes
It’s practical, grounded, and focused on helping your HR run smoothly, removing unnecessary stress.
Peer mentoring
Peer Mentoring is for individuals who want support, confidence and a sounding board outside their immediate team.
It works well for:
- New or developing managers
- People stepping into leadership responsibilities
- Team members dealing with workplace challenges
- Anyone who benefits from structured support and honest, calm conversation
Peer Mentoring is about helping you develop practical approaches to challenges, supporting your resilience and enabling you to discover a clearer sense of direction.
How do we provide this service?
Our mentoring programme is provided over 6 months, with two 121’s each month, coupled with regular access via WhatsApp.
We will work with you to understand the best approach for your circumstances.
Mainly delivered online, we can also come to your workplace or another venue as appropriate.
