In this month’s Words of Wisdom webinar, we explore how cultural awareness can make or break mentoring relationships in today’s globalised world.

ABM Director Gary King is joined by international mentoring expert Kim Murray-Eedes to unpack the unspoken rules, values, and nuances that shape how people think, work, and communicate. Together, they discuss how mentors can build trust and provide impactful guidance when working across cultures and contexts.

Whether you’re mentoring locally or globally, this episode offers practical insights to help you:

• Recognise the “invisible air” your mentee breathes – and why it matters.
• Avoid common cultural missteps that can derail trust.
• Adapt your mentoring style to different cultural expectations and communication norms.
• Equip yourself with tools and self-awareness to navigate cross-cultural challenges confidently.

Watch now to discover how cultural intelligence can elevate your mentoring practice and create deeper, more meaningful connections with mentees.
