No BS mentoring

What my mentoring programs are about

Changing what’s normal is what sets the most successful individuals and organisations apart from the rest; think Apple, Cirque Du Soleil, Virgin.

My Mentoring Programs cut to the chase, remove BS, and save you time, energy, and money by helping you discover your unique fast track to personal and organisational innovation.

I began mentoring in the early 1980’s as a key part of my career as a financial services executive.

I believe mentors are people we trust inside and/or outside our organisation who have the following essential skills:

• Ability and willingness to ask questions and self discipline to not necessarily give answers
• Ability and willingness to actively and reflectively listen and willingness to understand in non-judgmental and non-prejudicial ways
• Ability and willingness to engage in dialogue that inspires others to take action in their own way
• Ability and willingness to share experience in ways others will find valuable in making their own decisions and taking action in their own way
• Ability and willingness to be silent as others focus and think through their issues
• Ability and willingness to give sound advice but more to encourage people to find their own way forward

I work particularly well with people who live the following values in their own way.

Personal Significance: You accept you are a one-of-a-kind and work daily to bring everything remarkable that you are to everything you do.

Collaboration: You know that nothing really great is achieved alone and work with others to replace the status quo when same no longer serves.

Design: You are always seeking to design and implement pioneering and truly innovative ways to create and deliver value.

Sustainability: You demonstrate by your actions that you are committed to leaving the world a better place than you found it.

How do my programs work?
Your program will be crafted and designed with you so that it is just for you (see below). Our work together will be a combination of online via skype or telephone, in-person, and through your pinpointed use and 24/7 access to resources that rock. i.e. everything here.

Since commencing my own businesses in 1991 I have mentored a significant number of people in a wide variety of roles including:

• CEOs/MDs/Presidents
• Board members
• People identified as future CEOs
• Under performing individuals and/or teams
• People identified for possible promotion
• People who had been recently promoted
• Long-term employees who had been in the same role for more than 2 years
• People who were perceived as square pegs in round holes
• Highly competent people lacking commitment
• Highly committed people lacking competency
• People seeking greater personal development
• People being considered for reassignment or dismissal
• People who were unable to see current opportunities for their advancement
• Top performers who organisations had been worried about retaining
• High achievers who feared burn out
• People with life and work balancing issues
• Normally top or good performers not coping with speed of change
• Good performers whom employers believed could improve further
• People who had recently had a formal performance review
• Team Leaders
• Entrepreneurs
• Numerous self employed people

My role as your mentor is to supply sparkenations. Remember, a sparkenation is a spark that ignites passion that leads to action that changes what’s normal.

I will ignite your passion and work with you while you take action.
