The Pocket Mentor, Our Story

The good news is that people have been developing solutions from way back in Ancient Greek times, to the many research studies and books that line the shelves today. In the last 10 or so years real scientiﬁc advancements in studying how the brain works has enabled us to identify theories and tools that we can apply to our own lives.

Taking the science I starting developing a solution by identifying the key mindset skills we need; resilience, motivation, focus, conﬁdence and empathy and trialling the program with schools and individuals from across the world.

From here I put my experience, research and feedback together and created the “Pocket Mentor” designed to support you in your quest to build mental strength and wellbeing to thrive in the challenges of life.

Adventure

The boom of instant information has meant that we are often outcome focused and if we don’t achieve/progress instantly we get disheartened. Adventure is the process, the continual learning and development that enables us to take enjoyment in the small daily steps that help us reach our goals.

The Pocket Mentor is a story of adventure, from bouncing back and continually learning new skills to develop the brand and the mental strength toolkit. Through living this value we encourage, us and our user community, to be constantly curious; to feel conﬁdent to ask questions when we don’t fully understand something, to question the world around us and discover the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Curiosity enabled the cat!

Integrity

The Pocket Mentor toolkit is taken from evidence based thought leadership in psychologies and neuroscience, which means they have been tried and tested. The content can be trusted because the concepts have proven to work for businesses, sports people and regular folk like me all over the world!

The Pocket Mentor itself is a product of its content. Every concept and tool in the app have helped me on my journey to building my own mental strength, to persist and thrive in the challenges of starting a business.

Sustainability is at the core of every decision we make, made possible by our tree planting partnership with Eden Reforestation. Our user community can directly be part of this value too, as for every 10 days you use The Pocket Mentor 5 To Thrive toolkit we donate to plant a tree on your behalf.

Your growth grows trees, together let's plant a forest.

Innovation

Solutions to challenges come through innovation. The Pocket Mentor helps tackle two big global challenges; the growing mental wellbeing crisis and climate change. Our solution has taken 3 years of innovation, research and development and it will continue to evolve as the science grows and user experiences feedback into the product.

The science of mindset and mental wellbeing is extensive and ever growing. The Pocket Mentor makes this valuable research accessible to all; by breaking the science down into bite size chunks it can be related and applied to the contexts and challenges that we all face.

Our initial aim was to create a mental wellbeing platform for young people. However, the more we researched the more we recognised the relevance and importance of mental wellbeing resources to everyone, aligning with our adventure value - we never stop learning, no matter our age, background, or role.
