Small Business Mentor, New Forest
FAQs
How is a Mentor different from a Consultant?
Business Mentoring differs from Consultancy in that it enables people to find their own solutions via a coaching style vs being told what to do. I believe YOU know your business better than anyone and benefit greatly from having a sounding board and someone to ask you the right questions for you to see the answers.
I'm worried the costs will spiral out of control
As I operate on a fixed price basis there is no danger of this happening - you will always be clear what you are paying and I will confirm everything in writing.
What if bringing in a Business Mentor upsets my staff?
I am aware and experienced in dealing with the sensitivities bringing in a Business Mentor can evoke and always involve stakeholders in the process and take care to respect your teams feelings.
Can a Business Mentor actually help me- surely I'm best placed to sort out my business issues?
Often business owners are experts on their specialism / niche but no-one can be an expert in everything. Also there is the "can't see the wood for the trees" problem when you get too close to an issue - working with a business mentor allows you access to a wealth of experience and also an external persepective.
