Bespoke mentoring engagements
CMi Merryck brings real-world experience to executive development and customises each engagement to – one leader, one board, one team, one cohort, one organisation. Each mentoring engagement is carefully tailored to align with the goals of the organisation and each mentee or team.
Mentor and mentee
Mentor selection is vital. Mentor background, geographical/sector experience and network are important. Personal chemistry, however, is the overriding factor for a successful and mutually rewarding relationship. Each mentoring engagement is carefully tailored to align with both the company’s and the mentee’s defined goals. Each mentor/mentee relationship develops their own style, driven by the needs of the mentee.
The optimal match
The most successful mentoring relationships are determined by a strong personal relationship between mentor and mentee. Some mentors have deep sector insight; however, industry background and geographic considerations must remain secondary to the optimal matching of personal chemistry. The Mentor and Mentee have an acquaintance meeting to allow the mentor and mentee to determine personal chemistry fit, while validating the expectations of both mentor and mentee.
Mutual benefits
The CMi Merryck Retreat
Once the chemistry has been agreed between the mentee and the mentor the engagement commences with a one-to-one mentoring deep dive, which we call ‘the retreat’. The CMi Merryck Retreat is a unique and powerful experience where the client will clarify their values, motivations and strengths and look at their behaviours, relationships, business model, strategy and resources. They will emerge with a clear action plan that will start the growth process and a trusted relationship with a Mentor whose only agenda is the continued success of their client and their strategic context.
Unlimited access
During their Mentoring, CMi Merryck’s clients receive unlimited access to their mentor as well as access to the wider faculty of mentors as required. As we are not aligned to specific tools or frameworks, each engagement is tailored to the individual leader and the mentor will bring relevant theory, tools and exercises as appropriate for the development of the mentee.
