Mentoring is one of the most powerful learning and change interventions our clients use within an organisational setting. Some organisations see it as an activity, which can take place within the line of command; other organisations see it as incompatible with the fundamental openness of the relationship. Similarly, some cultures see the exercise of authority and influence on the part of a protégé as appropriate; others see mentoring as primarily a developmental activity, with the emphasis on empowering and enabling people to do things for themselves. Some people view mentoring as synonymous with coaching, or teaching; others see it as a form of counselling. Certainly others view it as a kind of godfather relationship.
At Coach Mentoring Ltd we can help you understand the form you wish to use and how to set up a programme. We create both bespoke programmes and support with off-the-shelf products for our clients, such as Mentoring Mastery, a state-of-the-art product, which provides on-going support to develop your mentors.
So improve your organisation’s performance with a health check to optimise your mentoring. Get tips on setting up your mentoring programme like an expert. Or expand your knowledge with a Postgraduate Certificate.

Elaine, like many, didn’t start her career intending to become a coach. But an early experience working with a coach left her fascinated by its power to transform thinking. “It wasn’t earth-shattering, but it opened my eyes. Someone simply listened to me and gently challenged my thinking in a way I hadn’t experienced before,” Elaine recalls.
In the previous BANI sessions, we explored how mentoring can support individuals in a Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear and Incomprehensible (BANI) world, as described by Jamais Cascio, an American anthropologist and futurist. I’ve decided to continue this theme in our webinar series, as the geo-political and economic situation globally appears to have become even more BANI in the first three months of 2025!
Today’s world can be described as Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible (BANI), an idea created by Jamais Cascio, an American anthropologist, futurist, and author. The war in Ukraine, the Middle East conflict and instability, the increasing impact of climate change and a world where massive upheaval can occur in seconds, has created challenges that require a fresh lens and mindset.
