Uncover your edge when "Mentoring Entrepreneurs"

Effective mentoring is not an innate skill; rather, it is something that is learned and perfected through deliberate effort and practice. This book helps both existing and aspiring mentors to develop the essential knowledge – and to perfect the skills, behaviours and techniques – needed to build confidence in their practice.

Mentoring relationships hold immense significance for entrepreneurs, helping them to realise their full potential. But mentors themselves also benefit significantly from these relationships, gaining inspiration and energy from those they partner with. The calling can feel like a big step, but with strong foundations will lead to lifelong engagement with mentoring. Our mission is to make effective mentoring more accessible and available, enriching the world with connectedness and kindness.

Capturing the experience of a broad range of mentors and mentees who we have worked with in our mentoring programmes over the past 15 years, this book offers insights, guidance, and motivation to both aspiring and seasoned mentors.

The book goes beyond the basics of mentoring entrepreneurs and addresses the not-so-obvious challenges mentors encounter when guiding entrepreneurs. It explores the essential skills, behaviours, and techniques required to become an effective mentor, encouraging deliberate effort and practice to cultivate the art of mentoring. This book uncovers the hidden obstacles mentors face and provides practical strategies to overcome them.

Whether you are a seasoned mentor seeking to refine your skills or someone interested in embarking on a mentoring journey, this book is tailored to meet your needs. It equips mentors with a holistic understanding of mentoring concepts, provides self-reflective questions, exercises, and prompts for active engagement, and serves as a trusted compass for navigating specific challenges and finding practical solutions.

While primarily focused on entrepreneurial mentors, the principles and strategies outlined in the book are applicable to mentoring relationships in any field. Our mission is to make effective mentoring more accessible and available, enriching the world with connectedness and kindness.

“Mentoring Entrepreneurs” is not just a book; it a versatile companion that empowers mentors to unlock the full potential of mentoring. By investing in the preparation and development of mentors, this guide paves the way for transformative mentoring relationships that foster entrepreneurial success.

“At the start of any mentoring relationship, I invest time to really get to understand the entrepreneurs, their purpose and what they try to do. This sets the foundation for a great mentoring relationship.”

David Brun

“I get a buzz from helping people solve challenges and succeed, and build strong relationships in the process. It is important to me to share my experience as a mentor and enable other people to grow in this role.”

Reviews

Really great resource for those of us mentoring... it's easy to read, is practical and I love the breadth and diversity of perspectives they've included. I also loved trying out the tools and frameworks they shared and got so much value personally! My mentees also loved the new approach to our conversations. Definitely a must read for anyone who wants to grow and helps others to do the same.

This book is set out really clearly, it's like a toolbox I can dip into when I need guidance. The best information I've ever read about mentoring specifically for entrepreneurs.

As someone deeply engaged in the entrepreneurial landscape, I found this book to be an invaluable resource that goes beyond the typical business literature. The content is not only well-researched but also presented in a manner that resonates with the challenges faced by entrepreneurs globally. The emphasis on mentoring as a crucial element for success is both refreshing and practical. What sets this book apart is its applicability in diverse contexts of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This book not only serves as a compelling guide on how to shape the success of entrepreneurs effectively but also highlights the importance of intentionally investing in mentoring programmes.

Even if this book is primarily dedicated to mentoring entrepreneurs, much of the advice shared applies more generally to mentoring. We learn the principles and especially the posture of the mentor to help the mentee grow: the art of asking the right questions, developing active and empathetic listening, being honest and transparent, etc. These are all attitudes that will help build a strong relationship between the mentor and the mentee. A very good book for people who want to get started in mentoring. It's your turn to read now...
