"On joining the senior management team of an international NGO I found myself faced with a constantly challenging external context and was struggling to balance day-to-day operational issues with the need to be strategic and provide leadership to my team. When the Aspire Foundation offered me the opportunity to be paired with a mentor it felt like the ideal support. I can use time with my mentor to step back and reflect, to brainstorm ideas and can rely on her to provide insights and support."
