Listen "Mentoring, does it work? Is the security sector good at it?"
Episode Synopsis
On the face of it mentoring has much to commend it; it involves having the support from more experienced professionals/leaders to identify and then guide, and to opening hearts and minds around self-leadership, self-learning and self-development. But is this the reality? Do people really benefit? Are mentors really motivated to help others or are they self-serving? Does mentoring really make a difference to young people’s lives or is it overstated? What does a good mentor look like and how do you measure success? If it is effective why is it not more common?
