Mentors

Lucca Leadership Mentors

• Mentors support the learning of participants after the Leadership Foundations Programme through advice and inspiration
• The experience of the mentors offers a practical aide to the participants in the delivery of the projects
• It allows people over the age of 30 to be involved with Lucca Leadership by developing young leaders who can make the difference

What is the role of a Lucca Leadership Mentor?

• To help participants realise their leadership potential and the learning from the programme as they work on a concrete project
• A successful project is a sign of learning, and is desirable, but is not an end in itself for the mentor. Grow the goose…get golden eggs. The mentor's focus is the goose!

The Mentoring Process

• Mentors and participants will be matched during the Leadership Foundations Programme on the basis of location, project and skills
• Mentors will meet with their participants usually once a month, ideally face to face. Mentors should be willing to be contacted by mail/phone and bear the cost of this
• The commitment should be for a minimum of a year, although some of the projects may last longer

Support and Training from Lucca Leadership

• There is a Training and Assessment Programme, Mentor Training, which will set up a potential mentor with the skills and knowledge they require. For more information on this programme, please click here
