GROUP MENTORING · INAUGURAL PROGRAMME 2027
Understand what is happening at work, develop sound criteria for your decisions and turn an intention into a step you can take.
Six sessions with Sofia Manso for professionals who want to grow in their current role, rethink how they lead or prepare for a change with greater clarity.
ONE PROGRAMME. DIFFERENT WORKING REALITIES.
You do not need to be considering a new job. The starting point is a real question about your working life that deserves a more considered decision.
Employees and professionals
Distinguish effort from contribution, understand what is wearing you down and prepare conversations about expectations, recognition or progression. Work towards an informed choice: grow, renegotiate, reposition yourself or prepare for a different direction.
Leaders
Reconsider how you distribute responsibility, set priorities and support performance. Work on decisions and conversations that can strengthen autonomy, consistency and clarity, without equating constant availability with commitment.
Organisations
Supporting a professional or leader to participate creates an opportunity to bring clearer thinking into everyday practice. The programme focuses on the participant’s decisions; a team-wide initiative has its own scope and proposal.
WHAT YOU WILL WORK TOWARDS
The programme is designed to help you develop four practical outcomes, shaped by your situation and the work you do between sessions.
Identify the real issue, the patterns that recur and what genuinely needs your attention.
Compare alternatives against your priorities, existing constraints and the consequences of each option.
Clarify what you need to ask for, negotiate, communicate or stop taking on.
Set a priority, define a first action and decide how to review what changes.
Outcomes depend on participation and individual circumstances. Mentoring supports your decision-making process; the decisions remain yours.
HOW IT WORKS
Preparation guidance helps you arrive with your own question and reflection. The book accompanies the programme and is purchased separately.
Sofia Manso facilitates reflection, introduces perspectives and works with situations brought by the group. The small-group format allows people to learn from different contexts while keeping the focus on application.
Continue the reflection in your own working context, prepare decisions and notice what happens when you approach a situation differently. The next session helps you build on that work.
Individual sessions are not included. Sharing personal experiences is voluntary, participants agree to confidentiality, and sessions are not recorded.
DESPERTAR · DECIDIR · PROGREDIR
The three movements of the book are Despertar, Decidir and Progredir: understand your situation, decide and move forward. The outline describes your learning outcomes; practical exercises are explored within the programme.
Explore the relationship between work, identity and meaning. Define the question you want to work on throughout the programme.
Distinguish personal responsibilities from organisational patterns and conditions. Identify your actual scope to influence the situation.
Explore what could change within your current situation and what may require a different move, considering constraints and consequences.
Organise your priorities and develop criteria that help you decide beyond urgency or fear.
Define the first move, the conversation you need to have and the conditions that would help you progress.
Review your direction, anticipate obstacles and make practical commitments for the period after the programme.
