What can I expect from a mentoring relationship at CWC Edge?

You can expect open, honest conversations focused on your personal and professional development. We start by understanding your goals — whether it’s improving confidence, transitioning careers, building leadership skills, or something more specific. From there, we work with you regularly to reflect, challenge, and move forward with clarity. It’s a partnership — you set the pace, we help guide the journey.

Do I need to have clear goals before starting?

Not at all. Some clients arrive with well-defined objectives, while others just feel stuck or unsure about their next step. Either is perfectly fine. One of the first things we’ll do together is explore what matters most to you and begin shaping meaningful, achievable goals from there.

How long does the mentoring process usually last?

That depends on what you want to achieve. Some clients work with us for a few focused sessions to navigate a short-term challenge. Others prefer a longer-term mentoring relationship that supports ongoing growth or major life transitions. We’re flexible — this is about what works for you, not a fixed programme.

I’m not sure I’ll connect with a mentor younger than me — is that common?

It’s more common than you think — and it’s completely normal to feel that way at first. Our approach at CWC Edge is built on respect, not rank, stature or age. We focus on shared goals, honest dialogue, and building trust quickly. Many of our clients find that the most meaningful mentoring comes when age isn’t the defining factor — it’s about perspective, experience, and the ability to listen, challenge, and support.
