When we discuss mentoring, we often focus on the mentee as the person that is being supported. It is interesting to see this approach, as in all the mentoring programmes that I have supported or led on, it is a focus on the mentors that has added the most value and impact.
The three key reasons for this extra mentoring value being achieved are:
  • People who have mentored are highly likely to mentor again and support more people.
  • Mentors are highly likely to be in senior roles or roles of influence where they can achieve a positive impact with a mentoring mindset.
  • Mentors who are trained and brought together under a supported mentoring programme frequently use the space to support each other and form very helpful collaborative networks that benefit all with resources, signposting and wider impact.

I was discussing just this with Martin Lucas who interviewed me to explore the important area of mentoring support.
