What is the ICAEW mentoring and coaching programme?

The ICAEW mentoring and coaching programme offers a one-to-one relationship between you and someone with extensive, relevant experience, which helps you to achieve your goals and progress your career.

  • ICAEW coaching - working with a formally-qualified career coach who has experience of working in finance and/or extensive experience of coaching finance professionals.
  • ICAEW mentoring - building a relationship with an industry expert who has board-level experience. They will be a CFO, CEO and/or NED. Whichever coaching and mentoring programme you choose will help supercharge your career goals and progress.

Your coach or mentor will challenge and stretch you throughout the mentoring or coaching programme with objectivity and independence, in a safe and supportive environment. They will increase your self-awareness and empower you to take big steps to further your career. At various stages during the programme they will become a consultant, thinking partner, friend, advisor, sounding board, challenger and facilitator.
