Testimonials / What participants say
The guidance provided through MentorsWork was fantastic – the fact that someone was listening and providing practical advice that I could implement right away made a huge difference.
Being able to discuss ideas and navigate obstacles with a fellow entrepreneur was invaluable to me and the business.
Like any good coach, goals are set out in writing and you are held accountable from session to session. You come away with tangible, actionable results.
The main challenge is having expertise to draw on from outside the business. MentorsWork helped us determine what to prioritise and how to eliminate things that may not require a focus straight away.
Having the support of a really established mentor who is engaging, keen to understand the challenges and help us work through plans around those specific obstacles, was invaluable.
