Mentoring is fast becoming the go-to development option for organisations that want to provide individual-led development programmes that are cost-effective and targets specific issues. From succession planning, equality, diversity and inclusion, leadership development, support for apprentices, improve recruitment and retention.

After years of experience developing mentoring programmes that deliver results for organisations across the world, I have created the 5 Steps. The 5-steps provides a roadmap that takes you through the stages that you need to consider if you are looking to set up a successful mentoring programme.

The 5 steps take you from understanding your purpose right the way through to evaluation and success.

Anyone who has responsibility for introducing a mentoring programme in their organisation or would like to know more about mentoring generally. You might be a mentor or have been mentored in the past and would like to put forward a business case for mentoring in your organisation.
