Coaching and mentoring

Personalised support that builds confidence, capability, and momentum

At Like-Minded Learning, we know that real growth often happens in conversation. One-to-one moments where people can think out loud, test ideas, and reflect honestly. Alongside our Skillbuilder programmes and in-person training, our coaching and mentoring provides personalised and flexible support that helps individuals grow in confidence and capability, with practical guidance tailored to their role and context.

 

We don’t just deliver learning; we partner with your people to help them apply it.

Who's it for?

Coaching and mentoring is ideal for individuals who:

It’s equally powerful for organisations who want to invest in emerging talent, strengthen succession planning, or accelerate capability uplift in a focused way.
