What to expect

Each mentoring relationship is unique, but sessions often include:

  • Exploring your aspirations and options for growth, whether that’s developing specific skills or creating conditions for co-design success in your organisation

  • Identifying practical strategies and techniques for facilitation, participant engagement, and evaluation

  • Reviewing your workshop plans and materials with constructive feedback

  • Answering your questions to build clarity and confidence in your approach

  • Reflecting on practice to explore challenges, examine your role, and ensure an ethical and sustainable approach.

Flexible support

Every practitioner and project is different. Once we understand your context, challenges and goals, we'll design a mentoring or coaching arrangement that works for you:

  • Sessions typically run 60-90 minutes via Zoom or Meet

  • Choose between regular scheduled sessions or flexible bookings

  • Includes time for us to review materials and provide written feedback

  • Additional resource recommendations tailored to your needs

  • “Emma's mentoring met me where I was at in my learning, and our gently curious conversations helped me stay aligned with the principles of co-design while encouraging me to experiment with new techniques. Emma’s conceptual clarity, practical knowledge, and broad networks have been a brilliant resource for my co-design practice.”

    Emma Constantine, Head of Innovation & New Business, McAuley

  • “Emma’s warm coaching style of mentorship, and willingness to share her vast co-design expertise, has really supported my development personally and professionally. I couldn’t recommend Emma’s mentorship sessions or courses more to those looking to develop their co-design practice.”

    Laura Griffin, Consumer Engagement & Co-design Manager, Agency for Clinical Innovation

  • “What I got out of just the first session was enough value to justify the cost of the entire 5 sessions... The longer term impact that coaching had on the quality of my work and my thought processes was unbelievable. I really don’t want to exaggerate it. I felt more confident communicating my work, more assured of myself in client meetings and vastly more efficient with my time without decreasing my effectiveness on projects.”
