Get a greater connection to the young people you are supporting and understand the powerful impact that working with an athlete mentor can have, by offering the experience to your team.
Dame Kelly Holmes Trust believes athlete mentors are inspirational role models. Coming from a background where a coaching and mentoring culture is embedded into everyday life, it’s widely recognised that sport requires a high degree of discipline, responsibility and perseverance. Athletes have proven leadership qualities, positive mind-set, communications skills, achievement of goals and resilience when dealing with the highs and lows of competitive sport and life.
The skills that apply to the young people we work with, also apply to the world of work. Our partnership options offer access to the skills, experiences, and high-performing mindset of athletes, through a variety of motivational engagement opportunities and employee wellness; and allow our partners to experience the powerful impact our athlete mentors have. We can create a bespoke package to suit your business goals and objectives, and your employee training and performance needs.
Unlocking Performance
Unlocking Performance workshops are ½ day sessions offering your team training in Confidence and Self-Belief; Resilience and Problem Solving; Leadership and Values; Communication and Teamwork; Goal Setting; Facilitation and Group Dynamics; Well-Being and Stress Tolerance; and Motivation
Mental Health
First Aid training
Our Mental Health First Aid training courses with accredited Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England trainer, Adam Whitehead, former Olympic and Commonwealth swimmer, are designed to encourage people to feel more comfortable and confident when discussing mental health, along with providing the skills to offer guidance and support to anyone who may be in need.
Bitesize Briefings
We know that time is precious and work commitments can sometimes make attending longer sessions impossible. Our Bitesize Briefings are motivational and inspirational talks designed to allow your workforce to access the skills and mindset of an athlete mentor in bitesize chunks.
Dedicated 1-2-1 coaching
We are increasingly offering 1-2-1 mentoring as part of our programmes for young people, giving them much needed support for their individual challenges in a time and space which suits them. Our world class athlete mentors can deliver the same bespoke support to your individuals to suit their needs and your organisational objectives.
Inspirational in person
Inspirational in person options offer the opportunity to engage larger groups with motivational talks; allows your team to learn more about our athlete’s inspiring stories and their work with the Trust; and offer a greater connection to the powerful impact our athlete mentors have on the young people we work with.
