About This Course
Mentoring can be such a gift. Especially when it’s done well. If your job involves supporting new starters, developing emerging leaders, or helping colleagues, the ability to mentor with confidence and clarity is a powerful capability.
Mentor with Impact is designed to help you guide, support and grow others in a way that is structured, ethical and genuinely developmental.
Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal if you are:
- A new or aspiring mentor who wants structure, tools, and confidence
- A manager or team leader supporting growth beyond day-to-day performance
- An experienced mentor looking to sharpen your approach and increase impact
- An HR/L &D professional building a mentoring culture across the organisation
- A technical specialist mentoring others without formal coaching training
No previous mentoring qualification is required – just a willingness to learn and practice.
What You’ll Learn and Be Able to Do
By the end of the day, participants will be able to:
- Define the mentor role clearly (and set expectations early)
- Build trust and create a psychologically safe mentoring relationship
- Use a simple, repeatable structure to run mentoring conversations confidently
- Ask better questions and listen in a way that unlocks insight and action
- Give feedback that helps others grow, not shrink
- Navigate common mentoring challenges: motivation dips, confidence knocks, blockers, and boundaries
- Create momentum with action planning, accountability, and follow-through
- Mentor ethically, inclusively, and with awareness of power dynamics
