What is business mentoring?

Because it's lonely at the top or on your own, business mentoring offers a partner in the process, a sharing of views with someone who really knows the ropes.  Trusted advisor, friend, teacher, wise person - the mentor relationship can provide all of these at the times when they are most needed.  Helping you gain fresh insights into problems and decision making, through impartial, objective discussion and feedback.  This means:

• Your energy is better focused
• You reduce the level of risk in making business decisions
• You make positive progress quicker 

You also have somebody who can challenge you, add to your skills, maintain your motivation and celebrate your successes. 

“It has been an incredibly formative week that has given an amazing boost to my business and my self-confidence.  All through the week I've been motivated by our mentoring session, and I can truly say that you have been with me in spirit every step of the way.”

The business mentor is truly objective and brings a unique experience of life and business to bear on the multitude of issues any leader or someone on the way up in business encounters, from that important presentation, hiring and firing, to building a productive team and making a real difference in the business.  Learning directly and one-on-one from someone with real-life and business experience is the best way for most people to gain knowledge and improve their success rate.  In short, a business mentor is someone who is available when you want him/her and whom you can trust totally to tell it like it is.  Business mentoring is a rewarding positive experience, which not only supports your business growth but helps you develop personally too.

“I just wanted to say thank you for today’s appointment. After a week of the constrictive and the negative it really put me back on track.”

Why do you need a business mentor?

The challenge of building a business can sometimes feel like journeying to the North Pole or going up the Amazon.  Now wouldn't you rather go with someone who has been there before?  Someone who has not only survived, but also demonstrably succeeded and returned to tell the tale?  And yet how many business advisors, consultants, accountants and the rest have actually demonstrated the ability to build a really successful business, make million pound profits, sustain satisfied customers and build outstanding teams?  How many understand how to win business from cold, how to make those vital recruitment decisions and know how to stay calm in the midst of the many challenges you encounter in the business jungle?  

What you can expect from a business mentor?

In a typical month I might be:

• Chairing a monthly management or board meeting to add clarity and direction
• Checking marketing copy to give it greater impact and bite
• Interviewing a potential employee to give a valuable second opinion
• Implementing a professional staff performance review process
• Writing a blueprint to successfully turn round a business in trouble
• Accompanying my client on a sales call to observe and add value
• Critiquing an important sales or board presentation
• Holding a weekly ‘check in’ or even a daily one if things get critical
• Establishing a sound financial planning process which is essential in any business 
• Providing a second opinion on something which has cropped up that day
• Facilitating a team building session or relationship audit between two senior managers or partners 

“You create focus and action and it feels fun”

In all these interactions my sole purpose is to fully understand the requirement and add value from my wealth of experience in a multitude of business situations.  In the rare occasions when entirely new situations crop up I just use my intuition – how often do you just go with yours?
