The mentoring from the Help to Grow: Management course is designed to support you in developing your Growth Action Plan.
Mentors provide one-to-one support and share knowledge, experience, useful contacts and good practice. They are there to be your critical friend, not make judgements. You’ll be able to tell them your thoughts and discuss your business problems. Mentors will treat anything you share with them as confidential.
We’ll recommend mentors to you based on the information you gave when you signed up and the mentors’ expertise, availability and location. You can then shortlist and send requests to the mentor you want to work with. The mentor can either accept your request and start working with you, or decline and you can search again.
Your mentor will have a minimum of five years of recent experience leading a small or medium-sized business at a senior level, or equivalent experience working with business leaders on growth, productivity and innovation.
You’ll receive 10 hours of mentoring from a dedicated business mentor over a 12-week period. The time is flexible and you and your mentor can agree when and how you take it. You can book your sessions through the platform.
This is for you and the mentor to decide. You’ll be matched via the Enterprise Nation platform, through which you can arrange calls or to meet in person.
The mentoring programme is being delivered by a partnership of Newable, Enterprise Nation and the Association of Business Mentors (ABM). Enterprise Nation is responsible for recruiting mentors and matching them with small business owners.
