WHY THE GEESE?

The geese in our logo

The geese in the Art of Mentoring logo represent the mentor/mentee relationship. In the natural world:
The geese at the front of the flock improve the aerodynamics to make it easier for the followers to fly;
  • Geese at the back honk to encourage front geese to keep pushing forward;
  • They are constantly shifting position meaning the ‘Mentor’ could be leading from behind or in front, sometimes just flying alongside.
  • These habits embody the foundations of the Art of Mentoring brand and are embraced by our team in their daily practice.
