The Foreward for this issue is provided by Lt General Richard Nugee, CB, CVO, CBE, Chairman of X-Forces Enterprise:
The themes in this issue, of developing people and communities, social value and mentoring, are critical in the post-COVID era we are living through.
With reports of mental health worsening over the last couple of years, especially in those just starting their working lives where the statistics from national to global (World Health Organisation) studies are stark, it is more important than ever for communities to create a sense of belonging.
Personal growth in a world that may look less than positive at the moment is all about developing people, communities and building resilience to be able to take the knocks and setbacks.
And there is no doubt, as proved by countless veterans and members of the service community, that a sense of ‘giving back’ or ‘serving others’, building social value, gives you a sense of worth that builds confidence and resilience, individually and as a community. It has rarely been more important.
Mentoring can be a key part of this, both as a mentor and a mentee. Probably one of the best pieces of advice given to me came from a mentor who had the ability to observe me, my character and my interests, and was able to point me in a new direction that was bold, and ultimately very successful.
As a mentor, I offer advice out of a spirit of wanting the best for those listening, with no view to profit from it, except to see others succeed. I recommend it!
