The Astia model is working. I have been very impressed. Each mentor is clearly a very genuine person and they navigate well, and without any embarrassment on their part or mine, any potential conflict of interest. That is a real professional skill and one I know you are keen to articulate in your guidance. By selecting real professionals you have addressed what most people fear about such organisations and have placed Astia ahead.
