Running a business is tough. It can be stressful, it can be challenging, it can be lonely.

Having someone there to provide guidance, advice and reassurance can be invaluable. And as a business mentor, that’s what I do.

I won’t criticise the way you do things or judge you on past mistakes. What I will do is:

  • Help you create a set of clear, achievable goals.
  • Help you create business plans to deliver those goals
  • Provide advice and guidance to help you implement those plans
  • Provide mentorship and encouragement
  • Hold you accountable
  • Help you acknowledge success
  • Be an independent confidante

You're in control

In order to create value for you, the minimum length of engagement needs to be around six months. That said, I don’t demand a commercial contract, so you have full flexibility and total control. If it’s not working for you, then I’m not going to hold you to ransom.

Am I the right business mentor for you?

I have a wealth of experience managing businesses in various sectors and have been mentoring business owners in Yorkshire since 2013 with great results.

Whether I can help you or not will depend on you.

I can give you my advice, guidance, support and encouragement, but you have to take action. You might not agree with every suggestion I make, and that’s fine, but if you aren’t prepared to make any changes or commit to decisions, then it’s unlikely you’ll get the results you want.

The important thing is that you trust me and feel confident that I’ve got your best interests in mind. The only way that can happen is for us to get to know each other, so give me a call and let’s see if we’re a good fit.

About me

Before turning my hand to mentoring in 2013, I had a long and varied management career spanning over three decades. I use everything I learnt and experienced during that time to advise and support the business owners I work with.
