A practical solution to a real business challenge.
The Growth Mentor™ was created in response to a consistent challenge seen across growing organisations:
The loss, or underperformance of experienced working mothers at a critical stage in their careers.
At the same time, managers are expected to retain and develop their teams without always having the structure or support to do so effectively.
How It Works...
Scalable Mentoring
The Growth Mentor™ brings together a network of experienced mentors with backgrounds in:
- Senior corporate leadership
- Team and performance management
- Organisational growth and transformation
This ensures organisations can access:
- Consistent support across teams
- Scalable delivery models
- Mentoring that reflects real workplace dynamics
Our Approach
We focus on creating clarity where it’s often missing.
- Aligning expectations between individuals and managers
- Supporting performance alongside flexibility
- Providing practical ways to handle real workplace situations
It’s about understanding how things actually play out day to day and helping people navigate that with confidence, clarity and consistency.
Leadership
The Growth Mentor™ is led by Hannah Hughes, founder of White Flamingo Consulting Ltd.
With a background in senior corporate roles, Hannah brings a commercially grounded approach to growth, supported by a wider network of mentors to deliver at scale.
Her passion for supporting working mums comes from being a mum of 2 little girls and having been the senior manager juggling the 2 worlds of motherhood and corporate success.
Setting up the Parents Network at Adobe Ltd and being a driving force behind the Mentoring program between Adobe & other Global Organisations, her experience is first hand with a personable and trustworthy attitude to mentoring.
Our Values
01
Honesty
- We create space for open, straightforward conversations, the kind that don’t always happen internally.
- That means being clear about what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.
- Because real progress comes from clarity, not avoiding the difficult conversations.
02
Empathy
- We understand the reality of balancing a career alongside family life, because we’ve been there.
- This isn’t about lowering expectations.
- It’s about recognising the pressures on both sides and finding a way of working that allows people to perform without burning out or stepping back.
03
Alignment
- Most challenges come from misalignment - not capability.
- We bring individuals and managers onto the same page, creating clarity around expectations, priorities and ways of working.
- So everyone is working towards the same outcome, with less friction and more consistency.
04
Clarity
- When everything feels like a priority, nothing moves forward properly.
- We help cut through the noise, simplify decisions and focus on what actually matters, so individuals and managers can move forward with confidence.
05
Connection
- Strong working relationships don’t happen by default, they need space, understanding and the right conversations.
- We help strengthen the connection between individuals and their managers, creating more trust, better communication and a more stable, productive working environment.
