Mentoring for Coaches
The Gender Insight Sessions offer mentoring for coaches working across gender lines—especially women coaches who coach men, and men who coach women.
​
These sessions provide practical, compassionate insight into gender socialisation, communication dynamics, and unconscious bias. They're ideal for coaches who want to deepen their understanding and better support clients navigating power, identity, and inclusion.

Mentor in a Minute — A Mentor’s Guide to Mentees
Alongside my one-to-one and group mentoring, I’ve captured decades of experience in my newest book, Mentor in a Minute: A Mentor’s Guide to Mentees, One Minute at a Time.
​
This book distils over thirty years of mentoring into 60 short, practical lessons — each designed to be read in about a minute and followed by a reflection prompt. It’s written for anyone who wants the benefit of mentoring insights, whether or not they are currently working with a mentor.
​
Think of it as a mentor-in-your-pocket: a companion you can return to again and again as your journey evolves.
