For those responsible for recruitment and retention of staff, quality assurance of services and management the successful management of change at all levels is vital.
Cygnus Mentoring and Professional Development was founded by Dr Peter Harborow in 2001, in response to the constant change and modernisation within the health care sector.
Cygnus recognises the growing importance for the individual to have reflective time out to address the important issues of professional practice that this change evokes.
Cygnus consists of a team of associates who will work with organisations or individuals to achieve their maximum potential and effectiveness. We consider their needs before embarking on a programme of support or training.
We are committed to planning and delivering programmes, which are well evaluated, effective and quality assured.
We hold regular meetings to ensure the appropriateness of our training and workshops.
We are always interested to research our work and maintain good practice in mentoring and professional development.
Your organisation is at its most vulnerable while undergoing change. This entails a review of resources, responsibilities and roles of members of the team.
Often the goals and tasks of the team are radically changed and communication becomes vital to restructuring.
We like to work with your organisation to identify the issues that are involved, explore possible solutions and identify training needs. More details of the courses we offer can be found [ here ]
We can recommend and deliver a range of training to address those needs and evaluate the progress. Well-trained and supported personnel are the organisations greatest asset.

Mentoring is a helping relationship between mentor and mentee. It focuses essentially on the agenda and needs of the mentee.
The mentor is a trusted confidante and guide. The relationship is supportive and non-judgemental but nevertheless challenging. Used effectively, it helps the individual to reach his or her own potential.
