Mentoring
What does this support involve?
What is business mentoring and who is it for? It's an interpersonal relationship of support, exchange and learning in which an experienced person (mentor) invests his or her wisdom and expertise to foster the development of another person (mentee) who has skills to acquire and professional goals to achieve. It is designed for business people of all sizes, regardless of their stage of development (start-up, growth, succession) or sector of activity (manufacturing, social economy, etc.).
What are the advantages of this support?
It's a well-known fact that business mentoring has enabled 70% of mentored SME owners to pass the famous five-year milestone. This percentage is twice as high as for unmentored entrepreneurs. Business mentoring also helps :
- improve leadership
- develop entrepreneurial skills
- gain self-confidence
- strengthen its decision-making capacity
- improve work-life balance
- reduce the stress and isolation associated with running your own business
- promote entrepreneurial well-being
- to be listened to, without judgment
- to be encouraged and inspired
