Jo shares how mentoring has supported her through key career moments, helping her navigate complexity, build confidence, and make clearer decisions. She highlights the role of mentors in asking thoughtful questions and creating space for reflection, rather than simply providing answers.

They also explore what makes mentoring impactful for both mentors and mentees. Jo emphasises the importance of continuous learning at every career stage, and why the best mentors remain open to being mentees themselves.
