What is Mentoring?
We expect our mentors to fill a very specific support need. Business mentoring is different from management consulting or business coaching. It assumes that the mentee already possesses the basic technical skills to make their product or deliver their service. The mentor focuses on business perspective and guidance, personal development, and soft skills.
The mentee benefits from the knowledge and experience of the mentor by receiving:
- Advice, counsel and encouragement
- A confidential sounding board, thinking room, and support for working through crucial and often complex decisions.
- Networking and contacts
- Political and cultural know-how
- Ongoing personal support and encouragement
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please APPLY.
