“Fantastic facilitators and trainers. They created a safe space for the group to learn. The skills and knowledge I have gained from this programme will be extremely transferable to other aspects of my role, beyond mentoring. ”
“Really enjoyed the course and loved how it was structured and delivered.”
“Every aspect of this straining was worthwhile and useful. There was a perfect balance of theory and evidence, with practical tools that can be utilised with mentoring and in other aspects of the work.”
“When we first realised the potential of linking Bank colleagues with our charity leaders in a mentoring relationship, we were sure that we needed to commission expert help in making the connections a success. Advance Coaching has been providing expertise and guidance since 2017. Having their team on hand to help us ensure our mentors and mentees have all the support they need to maximise the impact of their connections has been truly invaluable. We are delighted to work with Advance Coaching on our latest charity mentoring programme, as we know with them behind us, it has the highest chance of success!”
