There’s no right way or wrong way to approach Mentoring, Coaching or Critical Friends – other than helping clients identify and achieve goals more efficiently. Or is there? How does this work for us all in the real world…….
Here are two. Entrepreneur magazine found that strong Mentor programmes helped small-business owners attract and retain employees and a Fortune 500 company was able to reduce the turnover rate of its employees, with fewer than three years experience, from 50 to 20 percent through investment in a Mentor programme.
So how does Mentoring impact on smaller organisations? That’s what I want to explore. For example, would you find it useful to have a Mentor to:
- Bounce ideas off?
- Help you identify the right direction for your organisation?
- Keep you focussed on the key issues?
- Provide a confidential sounding board?
- Work ‘on’, rather than ‘in’ your business?
- Encourage and motivate you in these stressful and challenging times?
- Help you identify and achieve your business goals?
So, what’s important to you – what works and what doesn’t?

When you do, I will share the results with you through my report, ‘Mentoring in the East Anglia Business Community’ which will be published in the Spring.
