“I was recently put forward by my employer to participate in the Jamie Peacock - Building Champions Mentoring Programme to help me further develop my strengths and find ways to better manage the more stressful and frustrating parts of my job.I really enjoyed the way the programme was structured, with a mixture of one to one and group sessions. During the first one-to-one session, Jamie and I discussed the areas I wanted to work on (both professional and personal) and we agreed some objectives that we would review and build on as the programme progressed. The group sessions were a great way to share progress and ideas with colleagues, but also helped us empathise with the challenges other departments and individuals face, making us more supportive and collaborative in the process.Jamie was easy to talk to and insightful. Using his wealth of experience and a range of resources, he was able to provide me with strategies that have helped me look at things differently, resulting in more positive outcomes at work and in turn, improving my mental wellbeing. I will continue to use the methods Jamie gave me, in both my private and professional life, and will seek to expand on them further, as I can now clearly see the benefit of personal reflection and development.I would recommend this programme for anyone wanting to make a positive change in how they tackle challenging or stressful situations, building on the strengths you already have along the way – it certainly helped me.”
