Empowering Abilities, Unlocking Potential: Coaching and mentoring for a Limitless Future
We've partnered with some fantastic coaches and mentors to provide targeted support to disabled people, ensuring you have every opportunity to unlock your potential and achieve your goals.
​
Whether you're looking for career coaching or general mentoring to navigate life's challenges, our coaches and mentors will be with you every step of the way.
what is coaching and mentoring?
Coaching and mentoring both support personal growth and development, whether thats in your professional or personal life. Coaching is usually shorter-term and focused on a specific goal/goals, whereas mentoring is usually longer-term and the focus of the mentoring sessions will change over time.
​
Coaching: Providing constructive feedback for the disabled person to make their own decisions on ways to make the desired changes
​
Mentoring: Providing advice and guidance on what the disabled person might consider doing, but ultimate decision about what to do with that advice sits with the disabled person
​
Whichever you decide is best for you, both coaching and mentoring can provide you with guidance, support and feelings of empowerment and growth.
