Are you looking to grow your career, share your expertise, or gain fresh perspectives? The IWFM Mentoring programme is open to new mentors and mentees – and it could be the key to your next professional breakthrough. 

Mentoring offers a wealth of benefits for both mentors and mentees. For mentors, it’s an opportunity to: 

  • Share knowledge and experience to support others’ growth  

  • Give back to the profession and make a meaningful impact  

  • Tackle new and exciting challenges alongside emerging talent  

For mentees, the programme provides a valuable space to: 

  • Learn from someone with more experience  

  • Focus on career development and progression  

  • Gain impartial advice and a fresh perspective  

  • Explore ideas in a safe, non-judgmental environment  

  • Build new skills and overcome professional challenges  

Is mentoring right for you? 

Before joining the programme, it’s important to reflect on your goals and readiness. Here are some key considerations: 

1. Define your purpose 

Why do you want to be a mentor or mentee? What specific skills can you offer or are you seeking? A clear understanding of your goals will help ensure a strong mentoring match. During the sign-up process, you’ll complete a profile to support this matching process. 

2. Understand your current position 

Our mentoring platform includes built-in tools to help you assess your needs: 

  • SWOT Analysis: Identify your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats  

  • GSTAR Framework: Clarify your Goals, current Situation, Thinking, Actions, and expected Results  

3. Set SMART goals 

Once your needs are clear, you and your mentor or mentee can work together to set Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timebound goals. These will give your mentoring relationship direction and purpose. 

4. Commit to the journey 

Successful mentoring requires time and commitment. Consider whether you can dedicate time to regular meetings and follow through on agreed actions between sessions.
