A Distinctive Approach to Mentoring

Highly personal. Extremely Dynamic. Globally Minded.

Leadership development mentor Don in Japan talking with young students (1990)

We Live in a Changing World

Today’s fast changing, highly competitive, global, knowledge-based society requires us to shift our assumptions about the leadership skills that will help us be successful leaders and lead happy, meaningful lives.

Do you find yourself faced with tasks that:

  • are challenging and for which your previous experiences have not fully prepared you?
  • are complex and often ambiguous?
  • do not necessarily lend themselves to conventional responses?
  • require collaboration among various stakeholders (internal and external)?
  • require both social and technological innovations?
  • often require the introduction of new information and communication technologies?

Take The Next Step

If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider starting a leadership development mentoring relationship with Don. He can help you:

Stimulate your capacity for creative, innovative, out-of-the-box thinking

Work through the three major skill areas of thinking, doing and being

Nurture your receptiveness to operate as an explorer

Develop a more sensitive awareness of self, others and environment

Develop your capacity to exhibit grace under pressure

My mentoring relationship with Don consistently provides me with thought provoking perspective, renewed energy and deep reflection. It has helped expand my thinking and confidently dream big about my future.

What Makes A Mentoring Relationship With Don Distinctive?

It Uses The Metaphor Of An Explorer On An Expedition

As a leadership development mentor, Don offers no rigid prescriptions for success. Instead, he is focused on nurturing – not directing or commanding. With Don you’ll discover frameworks and receive travel tips to use as you see fit as you create your own maps for your leadership journey.

It Is Built On A Deep Philosophy Of Life

Don’s role as a Mentor is fuelled not only by information, knowledge or experience. It is fuelled by a deep-rooted philosophy of life and a spirit of collaboration that sees leadership as an opportunity to serve, to learn and to grow as a person.

It Is Focused On Relationship Building

Don believes that for a mentoring partnership to be successful, there must be opportunities to experience mutual learning and mutual growth. While knowledge, skills and various life experiences are significant assets in a mentor’s toolkit—the more esoteric tools of wisdom, joy and magic are also essential resources.

It Is Shaped By A Respect For Diverse Global Cultures

It is shaped by a global cultural perspective and is driven by the minds and personalities of the individual mentors and their clients. Seen as more an art and philosophy than a science or discipline.
