Mentorship.

A private mentorship for a small annual cohort: a sequenced curriculum, one-to-one Zoom sessions, invited speakers and work that is actually reviewed.

01The curriculum

Sequenced lesson plans

A structured arc covering personal foundations and professional craft: clarity of purpose and goal architecture, evidence-based decision making, written and spoken communication, research and analysis methods, financial and professional literacy, and building credibility through delivered work.

Format: a 12-week term with weekly lessons, monthly assessments and a final capstone project specific to your goals.

02The sessions

One-to-one Zoom meetings

Fortnightly private sessions with Geoffrey — direct, honest and specific to where you are. Between sessions, submitted work is reviewed with written feedback.

Format: 45-minute sessions, recorded with your consent, with a written action note after every meeting.

03The speakers

Invited speakers

Monthly guest sessions from practitioners across research, medicine, engineering, finance, entrepreneurship and the arts — people who have built the careers you are aiming at, answering your questions directly.

Format: one live guest hour per month, open to the whole cohort.

04The cohort

A small, private cohort

Membership is deliberately limited so every person gets real attention. Applications are reviewed against motivation, seriousness and fit — not pedigree or network.

Eligibility: open to early-career professionals, students and founders. No prior network required.

Term one — twelve weeks

The lesson arc

Every week is a lesson, a piece of work, and a review. The arc is sequenced so each month stands on the one before it.

W1–3Foundations

Purpose and direction

Clarifying what you are building toward; setting a goal architecture that survives reality; how to make decisions under uncertainty with the evidence available; the habits and systems that carry work over years, not weeks.

W4–6Communication

Writing and presence

Structuring arguments that survive scrutiny; writing that is clear, honest and readable; speaking and presenting to rooms that matter; using feedback without being derailed by it.

W7–9Craft

Methods and money

Research and analysis methods for people who need to know what is true; reading numbers without being fooled; financial and professional literacy — contracts, negotiation, and managing your own economics.

W10–12Delivery

Credibility through work

Building a public record of delivered work; the capstone project that demonstrates what you learned; the plan for the twelve months after the term ends.

Commitment

This is not a passive programme. Expect roughly 4–6 hours per week: one lesson, one piece of submitted work, one cohort or speaker session, and the fortnightly private call. The term runs 12 weeks, with a capstone in the final fortnight. Cohort fee and the current application window are given on enquiry — the fee exists to make the places serious, not exclusive, and a limited number of need-based places are held each term.

How to apply

Applications open once a year for the next cohort. Write to founder@reyanda.com with the subject Reyanda Mentorship application and the short application fields.
