Testimonials

“Shannon was a great mentor and supported me throughout the past year in my applications for training contracts. After finding out about “Shaan Mentoring” through LinkedIn, Shannon helped me with advice for every stage of my applications including interviews and vacation schemes. Not only did Shannon support me with the practical side of applications but also with the emotional side, including helping me with my confidence, providing tips for facing rejections, and motivating me by reminding me that these are just steps along the way to success. After taking part in the mentoring scheme, I received a training contract offer. I would definitely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for coaching and support.”

“Shannon's mentorship was invaluable throughout my application process. Her readily available resources, from tailored study materials to personalized advice, were instrumental in navigating the complexities of law. Her commitment to making the legal field less intimidating was evident in her approach, breaking down intricate concepts into understandable parts. Her unwavering availability and reassurance made every step less daunting, transforming what could have been overwhelming into a manageable, enriching experience.”

(Tanya)

“I became Shannon’s mentee last October, a time where I was feeling overwhelmed and deflated in navigating the Training Contract application process. Since my sessions with Shannon, I have witnessed a huge shift in my mindset and approach. Shannon has not only been my mentor, but a source of inspiration and empowerment.

She gave me crucial advice on the importance of self-confidence - especially as a young Sikh woman, tackling every task with a positive mindset, and helped me craft an effective application strategy whilst providing deeper insights into the application process itself. After our initial session, she gave me a comprehensive bank of resources covering everything from firm research templates to interview preparation, examples of successful applications, as well as other valuable tips.

Having someone to cheer you on during challenging moments and holding you accountable is truly empowering. Her unwavering support has been a game changer. And I am confident that with her guidance, I will secure a training contract!”
