What needs and issues respond to mentoring?
Mentoring processes can break the isolation associated with many social roles, (including management and leadership roles) in which asking for help may be seen as a sign of weakness or incompetence. They can help you maintain focus and progress when necessary support is not appropriate or sufficiently available from your colleagues, leaders, managers or within personal relationships. Our mentoring can do much to alleviate the following common experiences: Recurring, unsolved problems Group or team dysfunction Unproductive busy-ness, unfocused anxiety, constant dissatisfaction with progress Being over-burdened with (often conflicting) urgent priorities Lack of balance between work and other aspects of life Unhealthy levels of stress A sense of purposelessness, wasted potential or of being undervalued Anxiety about speaking our own truth or revealing our true selves Fear of failure and tendencies to be immobilised by perfectionism Defensiveness or despondency when given negative feedback
