What Is Business Mentoring?

Business Mentoring is a relationship between a Business Mentor and a business owner who sets the goals and agenda. The focus is on delivering real business, personal benefits and progress, whilst developing the business owner's capabilities. 

Business Mentors are highly experienced and knowledgeable in commerce and can support business owners in all areas of their business.

Business Mentoring gives the business owner someone to bounce ideas off and point them in the right direction. A Mentor is used to help them focus on the most pressing issues and to be a confidential sounding board and to enable them to work 'on' not just 'in' their business but to support and motivate in stressful and challenging times.

A Business Mentor supports, motivates and inspires the business owner to work out their own solutions, develop insight and achieve more than they would on their own. This includes the Mentor listening, questioning, challenging, providing feedback and bringing a different perspective. A Business Mentor is non judgemental, positive, open minded and  always maintains confidentiality.
