Empowering Emerging Talent Through Tailored Mentoring
At Micronomy, mentoring is at the heart of what we do. Whether it’s supporting students in higher education, recent graduates, PhD candidates, or individuals pivoting their careers, our goal is to help people turn their passions into professions. Through tailored 1:1 sessions, group workshops, and our signature Leadership and Authenticity programmes, we empower individuals to lead themselves and others through life’s complexities.
Over the past 15 years — and particularly in the last three — our mentoring initiatives have supported hundreds of people on their unique journeys. From entrepreneurs launching start-ups to professionals seeking clarity and confidence in their roles, we provide practical guidance, honest conversations, and meaningful support.
Our work is grounded in the belief that a little encouragement, combined with the right tools and insights, can transform lives and unlock potential. Each success story reminds us why we do what we do — to make a real, lasting difference.
Blue Skye Meadows"Micronomy has propelled my business, what I had hoped for in 6 months, I have now achieved in just two weeks of the Micronomy programme"
Leanne Smith"The best thing I ever did at Uni was take the modules designed by Dawn and Elinor. I really don’t think that I would have been as successful as I am today without them. They have taught me so much about business, but also myself. I now run a business and an amazing team, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.”
Tim Gundry, Assistant Dean, Student Experience, Arts University Plymouth"The session that Micronomy delivered was designed to conclude our curriculum enhancement week known as 'Your Creative Future', a week of activities devoted to employability and enterprise. Micronomy’s brief was to open our students' minds to the range of opportunities for creative professionals, to inspire them with confidence to stay in the City to pursue their careers. As expected, the session was like gold dust - intelligent, articulate and informed insight, delivered with genuine passion. Micronomy has a particular ability to connect with others and models its values of being Brave, Bold and Curious, values which really resonate with our own aspirations for our students. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Micronomy."
Anonymous, Plymouth"With over 20 years in business and more than 8 years as a senior leader, I wasn’t sure if Authenticity and Leadership mentoring and coaching were right for me. However, after just one coffee and conversation, I quickly realised it was exactly what I both wanted and needed. I went from dreading boardroom meetings, often losing sleep the night before, to now embracing the opportunities my career provides with confidence and excitement.”
Hannah Harvey"I was so surprised at how much I learnt in such a short time. The way things were shared made it all so real and I could see where it fitted in my future through their experiences. Every question we had was given a rich answer."
Nattaphong Deremn"My 1-1 mentoring has completely transformed the way I think about everything. I initially thought Leadership and Authenticity would be a small part of the program, but it turned out to be the most impactful. Studying in London was both amazing and challenging, and the mentoring played a key role in supporting my growth. Now, back in India, I’m about to begin my virtual mentoring sessions, and I can’t wait to continue this incredible journey.”
