25. Shaping the Future... e-Mentoring gave me confidence to problem solve without going to my line manager – therefore saving time and travel in my organisation My e-Mentor helped me to focus my mind, identify things that needed to change and prompted me to take action. My organisation covers a huge and rural part of Wales and I am now utilising e-Mentoring to support my team members who often feel isolated. Arranging e- Mentoring meetings was far more flexible than when I’ve used traditional forms of mentoring. e-Mentoring allowed me to access my mentor within 10 minutes of making a brief E- mail request. What was amazing was that my mentor was over 100 miles away and we were speaking face to face!
