From Stuck to Empowered: Cindy’s Mentoring Journey

When Cindy first joined our Mentoring Programme, she was feeling stuck—low on energy, unsure of her working style, and unclear about her next steps. Over six months of working with her mentor Sue, things began to shift. Through their regular sessions, Cindy began to rediscover her strengths and what energizes her at work. Sue’s support helped her move from uncertainty to a place of grounded clarity—equipped with renewed confidence and a better understanding of her values and direction.

Why did you come to us for assistance?

When I first started this journey, I was seeking clarity around my working style, struggling with energy and motivation, and uncertain about what direction to take next in my career.

How did we help you?

I was paired with a mentor, Sue, who created a space where I felt truly heard. She listened and asked thoughtful questions that helped guide and often reframe my thinking. Her ability to gently challenge my assumptions while remaining supportive helped me gain clarity not only about my current challenges but also about my strengths, values, and potential.

How did our volunteers make you feel?

Sue's patient, structured, and encouraging approach made a real difference. She provided the kind of support I needed: someone who could reflect back what I wasn’t seeing in myself, help me identify the roots of my disengagement, and challenge me to take meaningful steps forward. I always left our sessions feeling clearer and more focused.

Did our programme meet your expectations?

Yes - this mentoring experience has been a pivotal part of my personal and professional growth, and I’m very grateful to Sue for the guidance, wisdom, and care she brought to every conversation.

What was the result?

Through our conversations, Sue helped me see myself differently—in a more empowered and grounded way. I’ve started to rediscover what energizes me, and I now feel better equipped to explore and evaluate new career paths with confidence.

At Yes for Success, we know that sometimes all it takes is the right support to reignite your spark. We’re so pleased to hear how working with a mentor could help Cindy move forward with refreshed belief in her own abilities. If you’re looking to build your confidence, find clarity, and get back on track, we’re here to help.

“Working with Sue over the past six months has been an incredibly valuable experience. From the very beginning, she has embodied everything I was hoping for in a mentor—and more.”
