For Lois Lodding of NFP House, mentoring with Stuart meant having someone who recognised both her work and the strengths behind it. He acknowledged her contribution and helped her see resilience in herself that she had not previously recognised.

Lois valued Stuart’s ability to look critically at the issues she brought to him while remaining warm and approachable. He also made himself available at short notice, in whatever way they could connect. She describes herself as lucky to have had his wisdom and support.
