I undertook the Coach Mentoring Skills for Business with ILM accreditation delivered by Alessandra Alonso of Shine People and Places and found it extremely helpful. We are launching a mentoring programme and the content of the course was all very relevant and delivered at the right pace. It also gave me a lot to think about and now I feel much more confident about launching an initiative for my organisation.

Just a line or two to thank you sincerely for making time to lead the workshop yesterday afternoon. I really enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the exercise/discussion, and know the students got a lot out of it too. It will really have caused them to think throught the kinds of issues you brought to their attention.

“The (how to run a successful mentoring programme) workshop provides a very good framework to plan the implementation of a mentoring system. The focus on what the mentoring system is trying to achieve and then the step by step approach on how to achieve it is very helpful.”
