Mentoring Essentials Workshops

The fast-track to understanding and practising mentoring

Mentoring can be a game-changer for individuals and organisations—but not everyone has the time for intensive training. That’s where the Mentoring Essentials Workshops come in. These short, high-impact sessions offer a practical introduction to mentoring, equipping both mentors and mentees with the core skills, mindsets, and tools needed to build strong, effective relationships.

The Mentoring Essentials Workshops are designed for organisations looking to introduce mentoring to their teams in a structured, engaging, and time-efficient way. Delivered online or in-person, these short, high-impact workshops provide a strong foundation in mentoring for both mentors and mentees—giving them the skills and confidence to build meaningful mentoring relationships.

Unlike in-depth training programmes, these workshops are designed for scale and accessibility, offering a practical and interactive experience that fits easily into busy schedules.

With a flat rate per workshop (regardless of participant numbers) and a capacity of up to 60 participants, they are a cost-effective solution for organisations looking to strengthen their mentoring culture without extensive time or resource commitments.

Galileo said ‘You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself.’ At HELP Logistics we embrace learning through discovery by building top-class coaching-led programmes for humanitarians with limited time and resources. To stay at the forefront of coaching and mentoring we brought in The Human Edge. They shared simple impactful human-centric methods that develop powerful lasting connections between mentor and mentee. Our programmes benefit immensely for continued engagement with The Human Edge.
