Testimonial Tuesday: it was lovely to get this review in my inbox this week, from an adult I recently did some short term mentoring with. I was really pleased to hear his contract has been extended.
"Ali was hired by my employer to help find ways to support me in the work environment to make my ongoing employment sustainable and to prepare for a meeting between the company and myself in order for me to explain what my needs were and how they might be able to support that. I had four one-to-one mentoring sessions, each lasting one hour, with Ali in a neutral place. The meetings were non-judgemental and fact-finding, identifying my strengths and weaknesses, and getting to know me as a person. Following these sessions, she was able to produce a report for the company highlighting areas for possible adjustments. She also produced a plan to help people at work understand me better and areas where I may struggle or react differently to others. Lastly, she helped me produce notes, based on the ADHD UK’s ADHD at Work welfare pack for me to use in a meeting with people from the company. She also attended the meeting to help make sure I was able to speak for myself but aid me if there was a need. The sessions with Ali were incredibly helpful and insightful. She was clearly very knowledgeable and patient with me. She showed me compassion but also was very professional and made me feel like she understood me and was there to advocate for me."
