About CMi / Our Approach
Bespoke, structured engagements
Our model is systematic, yet personal.
TAILORED SERVICE
Each CMi mentoring engagement is curated and designed for absolute discretion, free from internal pressures or reporting lines.
A clear structure is agreed from the outset, based on development in situ, to ensure the relationship is purposeful, productive and discreetly aligned with operational demands. It evolves with the mentee’s goals, while aligning with their professional commitments.
MENTOR MATCHING
Chemistry and clarity
Mentor selection is a critical strength of our team. We know all our mentors personally – their expertise, experience and mentoring style. While sector understanding, location and network matter, personal chemistry is all-important.
Each engagement is designed to reflect both the mentee’s development agenda and the organisation’s strategic priorities. The working relationship then develops naturally in response to the mentee’s working priorities and emerging leadership style.
MENTOR ALIGNMENT
The optimal match
The most effective mentoring relationships are founded on trust and personal connection. Sector background is important, but it’s the alignment of outlook, intent and personal affinity that defines success – and that’s something we always look for. Every engagement begins with a confidential introduction, enabling both parties to explore the personal chemistry fit and agree on expectations.
The principles we uphold
Confidentiality
Each mentoring relationship is strictly confidential. It’s a protected space where mentees can speak openly and reflect without reservation – an essential condition for meaningful progress.
Critical thinking
Leaders must often make high-stakes decisions charged with risk and complexity. CMi mentoring provides the rigorous, challenging conversations needed for clear and confident judgement calls.
An unparalleled sounding board
Our Mentors bring vast executive and board experience, truly understanding the complexities and dynamics of leadership. Mentees have a tremendous opportunity to get a fresh perspective, test leadership ideas and seek a valuable second opinion.
