I genuinely love to support organizations to create the best value through thier people and I have been able to do that in over 5 sectors, spanning start-ups and mature organizations and I personally enjoy rolling up my sleeves in co-creating something new and different.

Mentoring provides an invaluable opportunity to support someone else on thier journey to being a successful entrepreneur.

This sort of support enables them to leverage the shared experience of thier mentor and use that to leap frog the issues they encounter on thier journey.

I derive a lot of satisfaction from providing these needed insights and raising the level of awareness of entrepreneurs to being more delibrate about how they lead and how this impacts the growth of thier business.

Interestingly mentoring has given me too a huge opportunity to grow further learning through the experiences of mentees. The gowth is definitely two-way .
