The Aim.

To support young employees to develop, grow in confidence and become an even more valuable asset for their employers.

The Experience

When you sign up to mentoring, you’re entrusting your employees to Stay Bright. It’s crucial that it works for your organisation and the employee. And that means Stay Bright must have the right experience and understanding to implement it properly and effectively.

Previous Mentoring

I have nearly 20 years of mentoring experience to draw on, across relaxed and more formal approaches, and including setting up an award winning mentoring network.

Working With Young People

Across my time at Stay Bright, Young Scot and DC Thomson, I’ve worked directly with young people. This has allowed me to develop an effective engagement approach, at the heart of my mentoring work.

Management Experience

Stay Bright Mentoring is designed to complement the work of a line manager. Having previously been a manager at operational and senior level, I understand the pressures and focus mentoring to help.

After many years of mentoring within my job and voluntary roles, I decided to introduce mentoring as a Stay Bright service for one simple reason.

I feel mentoring is a powerful but under-rated approach, which can see real results and impact with young people.

It’s never been more challenging for a young person starting employment or early in their career. They faces challenges like hybrid working, artificial intelligence, employers facing challenging budgets and more.

There are some fantastic mentoring programmes to get young people into work, but a gap for those who are already in employment.

I believe in young people. I believe in mentoring. And I believe that Stay Bright Mentoring can help employees and employers to enhance working relationships, build confidence, increase staff retention, and so much more.
