Hear what our Non-Executives have to say about their experience

My experience was great because my mentor was sharing experiences with me and also stepping into coaching mode to enable me to stretch my thinking. My mentor has given me motivation as well as guidance and encouragement, which is giving me energy and focus on my studying. I would highly recommend mentorship.

Jeremy is a great mentor, providing very useful information and support, guidance on next steps and generally useful reflection points. Really value his input and feedback. Jeremy has a clear strategy on helping to develop people looking for board appointments with a very broad industry expertise. Helps you to think out of the box.

Jeremy asked me to complete a star matrix for a NED interview this week, ready to go through to get me ready in this mentoring call. He was very helpful and gave me lots of techniques, as well as information for the interview. It all gave me a lot more confidence. 

I had a very good session with Jeremy. He listened to what I had to say and we have made the first application!
