One to one mentoring provides medium to long term support which maximises an individual executive’s potential to enhance his/her performance. Meeting at regular intervals (for example every month) the mentor supports the executive to understand the impact of his/her current behaviour and to develop concrete strategies for improving his/her skills and actions. While the agenda is primarily led by the executive, the mentor will notice patterns and blocks to learning and will challenge or enquire about these. An effective mentoring relationship complements any other ongoing development and training programs or opportunities an executive might similarly undertake.
