The Entrepreneurs’ Forum’s peer-to-peer mentoring programme confidentially connects members in order to share knowledge and experience.
With more than 100 entrepreneurs to choose from - and over 15 years' experience connecting like-minded people - no matter what stage of business you're at we can help you to make progress.
Whether it's overcoming a challenge, scaling-up, strategic planning or putting the building blocks in place for your future, by 'speaking to people who’ve done it all before' you can benefit from the lessons already learned by your peers.
Of course there are no guarantees, but we're sure we can find the right person for you; whether that's a kindred spirit to offer support and guidance over the long-term or someone who can answer a specific question over coffee as they've been through the same experience before.
What's on offer?
The Entrepreneurs’ Forum’s peer-to-peer mentoring programme confidentially connects members in a number of different ways so that they can share knowledge and experience.
One to one connections
Mentoring through the Entrepreneurs’ Forum is an exclusive benefit for members and begins with a tailored match-making process. We’ll discuss what kind of mentor you’re looking for, whether that is someone to help you with a short-term business challenge, or a longer-term mentor who you can meet with regularly. By understanding your specific situation and needs, we can then recommend the most appropriate mentor for you by carefully considering their past experience and skill-set.
Mentoring sessions
Aside from one-to-one connections, our mentoring sessions are very popular and are held regularly throughout the year, either in person or by video call. Access to mentoring sessions is an exclusive benefit of Entrepreneurs' Forum membership. We provide details of our mentors for each session in advance to all members, allowing the choice of the most appropriate person who we can then connect to, or introduce in person.
Eligibility
Please note, this mentoring programme is only open to members of the Entrepreneur's Forum. For more information about membership, please visit here.
