These sessions will be led by one of Clare's associates Sheela Hobden PCC, Siobhain Whitty or Nicky Chambers. The Meet the Mentors session enables participants to meet our Associates Nicky and Sheela, giving them a chance to get to know the mentors and indicate their pairing preference before the 1-1 sessions. If you would like to schedule any 1-1s earlier, before the group program begins, just let us know when you book and we'll make sure to match you accordingly. The Meet the Mentors session will be arranged via Zoom and instructions to join will be sent via email.
