Today, Wednesday 17th January, is International Mentoring Day! If you ask any successful person, they will always have had a great mentor at some point. Mentoring can help people feel fulfilled and rewarded with a sense of purpose within their organisation. Mentoring can inspire them to want to perform and develop beyond their current levels and help them be more self-reliant and empowered to take ownership of their development.
We specialise in mentoring and believe in the importance of sharing wisdom and experience for the benefit of others. So, in the spirit of our specialism, we’ve put together some resources, blogs and tips you may enjoy. But first here’s a message from Antoinette.

Quotes are a great way of summing up learning and experience in a way that inspires others. And the inspiration of others is a key role that mentors play. I recently shared my favourite quotes from Ted Lasso, the beloved fictional character from the eponymous television show. This has proved rather popular with our readers!
His unique and often hilarious perspective offers insights that apply not just to football, but to the game of life, and work.
