How has completing an ABM qualification impacted your mentoring journey?

Hilary Fern

ILM 7 Graduate

"I pursued ILM7 to gain credibility as a mentor and expand my knowledge. There are so many coaches and mentors out there that do not have any professional qualifications and it was important to me to gain a certain level of credibility for my practice, so that I can provide the best possible mentoring experience to my clients. I’ve honestly learned so much about professionalising my mentoring approach and hope that this will help me to bring even more value to my mentees in the future."

Les Gill

ILM 7 Graduate

"The ILM7 really opened my eyes to the broad spectrum of activity that goes into a balanced mentoring practice. I've learned a lot about structuring my mentoring sessions in a more professional way. I was a little bit ad hoc before.One of my main takeaways was to take better records of the mentoring activity. Thanks to the ILM7 programme, I know have the skills, awareness and tools to structure the front- and back-end processes of my mentoring approach more effectively."

Brenda Etchells

ILM 7 Graduate

"I know that my clients are now getting somebody who is experienced, qualified and is continuing to learn. So, in the end they are getting a better mentoring experience. From a commercial perspective, this also allows me to confidently charge more for my services. This means that I hopefully will be attracting more of the right clients, who understand the value of professional mentoring for their business. It should be win, win really."

Always get value from attending the ABM education and networking sessions: session leaders framing the topics share pointers, and connecting with peers and hearing real world experiences generously shared is insightful.
