Becoming a mentor isn't simply passing on professional knowledge or experience. It's about recognising the potential in someone else, helping them build confidence and perhaps being that person they'll look back on one day as having made a real difference. finito.org.uk/people/mentors…

You have so much to offer - never doubt that! Sometimes, it’s just about learning how to communicate what makes you shine.

So here's a one-minute project for the weekend. Wherever you are, whether that's on the sofa, in the shower or even on the toilet, notice the muscles in your feet. Tense them for a few seconds, relax them, then repeat. That's it.

Everyone here at Finito is deeply saddened by the passing of Dame Esther Rantzen, whose dedicated and pioneering work helping people across generations is a legacy that will be felt for many years to come. In many ways, Dame Esther was the epitome of mentoring.
Applying for hundreds of jobs can mean hundreds of rejections, taking a real toll on confidence.
A more targeted approach, supported by high-quality mentoring, can help you find the right opportunities and make every application or conversation stronger.

Career support isn't just for people starting their careers. Someone can have 20 or 30 years of experience, an impressive CV and a long record of achievement, and still need help navigating a job market that has changed around them.

Take some time to recharge. You've got this! #SelfCareMatters
Networking doesn’t have to mean working a room full of strangers. It can be a LinkedIn message, an introduction over email or a coffee with an old colleague.
A mentor can help you plan those interactions and make the most of them.
