I found this course hugely beneficial as a new mentor. After listening to your videos reading the articles etc. I now feel more confident and comfortable to begin my mentoring journey.

Loved the 3 big questions that were introduced before and how we can mould them in our practice; the 'Solution- focused mindset'; ways to collaborate and communicate; striking balance...the whole lot, actually!
