The Women’s Global Mentorship Alliance
Insights Discovery Profiling
Insights Discovery is based on the work of Carl Jung and is a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s predispositions, or preferred behaviours. Participants receive a personalised report outlining their values, strengths and areas of development including graphical descriptions of their conscious and less conscious preferences.
One to One Mentoring
Our mentoring is person-centred and has been crafted by educationalists and corporate executives to support and inspire participants to the next phase of their leadership journey. Our mentors are all current or former senior executives with non-education backgrounds, our stance being that we are mentoring creative leadership and that the best mentorship for growth comes from outside of your organisation.
Personal Project
In order to maximise the power of mentorship and prepare participants for the next steps in their leadership, many participants choose to focus their mentoring around a personal or professional target. This could focus on:
-
- A piece of work on the strategic vision of the school.
- Solving a school-based problem.
- Undertaking a piece of educational research which could lead into further postgraduate study.
- Addressing a personal skills gap to improve opportunities for progression.

Collaborative Mentoring
Participants are often students who aspire to hold or have recently been appointed to leadership positions within their schools. To support them on their leadership journey, participants work with recent graduates, early career mentors and other experts on their personal and leadership development, as well as focusing on a range of topics which will enrich their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Global Social Impact Project
Students will collaborate with students globally on the planning and creation of a strategy, policy or programme that addresses a global issue or social inequality.
US Canadian and Australian Schools have joined the programme
One to one mentoring
In the current cohort, schools from the US, Canada and Australasia have joined the scheme. We have expanded our panel of mentors to include colleagues from the US and Australia. The majority of mentoring will take place virtually, using Zoom or similar technology.
Conference in Boston
We are going to mark the culmination of the programme with a conference in June 2022. The NCGS has a Global Forum every three years and next year’s event is due to be held in Boston. Members of the new cohort will be invited to attend that event and also a dedicated conference of their own prior to the Forum. If budget and/or the pandemic do not enable travel, there will be a virtual option.
