About this event

Join the Association of Business Mentors for a practical webinar exploring how workplace mentoring and coaching can strengthen leadership, improve culture and support sustainable growth.

Featuring one of the first ABM Workplace Coaching & Mentoring Accreditation case studies, this session brings together Pete Wortley, ABM Workplace Coaching & Mentoring Advisor, and insights from one of the first organisations to complete the accreditation programme.


Through a real-world case study, attendees will gain first-hand insight into the accreditation journey, what the process revealed, how it helped leadership move from control to empowerment and the impact it had on organisational growth and leadership development.


About the webinar 

Many organisations invest in leadership development, mentoring or coaching. But a programme being available is not the same as it being embedded. The real test is whether it helps people make better decisions, take greater ownership, have more constructive conversations and build the leadership capacity needed for growth.


The Association of Business Mentors is the UK’s professional body for business mentoring. We champion high-quality mentoring and coaching because they unlock potential in individuals, teams and organisations.


ABM Workplace Coaching & Mentoring Accreditation gives organisations an independent view of how well mentoring and coaching are built into their culture. It assesses the practical conditions that make development meaningful and sustainable: leadership behaviours, management capability, employee experience, accountability and continuous improvement.


This webinar is grounded in the experience of one of the first organisations to achieve ABM Workplace Coaching & Mentoring Accreditation, providing a practical perspective on the challenges, opportunities and outcomes of embedding mentoring and coaching within an organisation.


As a growing organisation, their challenge was clear: build the organisational structure, leadership capability and culture needed to grow beyond a founder-led model, without creating more pressure and bottlenecks at the top.


Mentoring began with the senior leadership team and extended across key leaders within the business. The result was stronger decision-making, more ownership within the team, better-quality conversations and greater capacity for Directors to focus on strategic growth.


Their story makes the business case tangible, demonstrating how investing in mentoring and coaching can strengthen leadership capability, improve organisational effectiveness and support sustainable growth.

Why attend?


This session is for leaders who want to move beyond good intentions and understand what a genuinely embedded mentoring culture looks like in practice.


You will hear how a pioneering organisation used mentoring to help leaders bring solutions, not simply escalate problems; create space for more direct and constructive conversations; and ensure that their people-first culture was experienced across the organisation, not just claimed by senior management.


It is not a sales presentation. It is an open, practical conversation built around a real business story.

– HR Directors and People leaders 

– Business owners, founders and Managing Directors 

– Senior leaders in growing organisations

– Businesses considering how to strengthen leadership capacity as they grow
