Mentoring
Top 昀椀ve reported bene昀椀ts of
mentoring for charity leaders:
Learning how to approach different scenarios
Developing personal con昀椀dence and self-belief
Positive in昀氀uence on personal wellbeing
Improving skills and competence within their role
Greater clarity about role and career development
“Cran昀椀eld Trust’s mentoring programme
was transformative for me as a charity
leader. My mentor was brilliant and helped
me to better understand myself and unlock
my potential as a leader. I now feel much
more con昀椀dent in my own abilities and
better able to process my own thoughts
and feelings, supporting better decision
making. I also have a range of tools and
approaches to draw on as I navigate the
constant change that leadership throws
at us. I would thoroughly recommend this
programme.”

“I have accessed support from multiple
sources over the lifetime of my career and
Cran昀椀eld Trust mentoring was de昀椀nitely
one of the best resources I have tapped
into. I feel so lucky to have accessed this
support. I have learnt so much about
myself and gained so much insight. I have
become a stronger leader and feel the
mentoring has not only bene昀椀tted me but
the organisation and people around me. I
would fully recommend it to others. Thanks
so much for this opportunity.”

“Mentoring has been a learning
opportunity for both myself as well as my
mentee, bringing home that at times it is
just as valuable to support the mentee to
make small incremental changes which lead
to signi昀椀cant shifts for the mentee.”
