“Before Laura I really sat there waiting for opportunities. After Laura’s mentoring session that changed for me. I would actually go out and find them.”

To celebrate International Mentoring Day (17 January 2023) we speak to Consultant Laura Harrison, a Senior Leader Mentor on the Leaders Plus Fellowship Programme, and her Mentee, Leaders Plus Fellow and U-Blox Principal Engineer Rajani Rao to find out what made their relationship so successful.

We discuss:

• what it takes to make a mentoring relationship truly transformational
• where to go to find Mentors 
• why some conversations make a difference and others don't

We hope you enjoy the conversation.
