How it works

MentorsWork aims to help you improve productivity within your business through a range of integrated learning supports:

  • In-depth Online Competency Assessment
  • 4x One-to-One Mentoring Sessions
  • Unlimited Access to Peer-Focused Workshops
  • Unlimited Access to Expert-Led Masterclasses
  • Unlimited Access to Masterminds Hosted by Experts

In order to get real and impactful results, you will have to commit to a minimum of 24 hours spread across the 12 weeks of the programme – an average of just 2 hours per week. This 24 hours will be an investment into your future and ensure you optimise your business potential both now and in the longer term.

During the application process, you will be asked to select up to three key business competencies that you would like to focus on. If your application to the programme is approved, your selection will allow us to:

  • Assign you a Dedicated, Sector-Specific Mentor
  • Inform Your Choice of Masterclasses and Workshops

In addition, you will work with your mentor for the duration of the programme to produce a bespoke Business Improvement Plan. This plan will provide the roadmap for your business to navigate the 6 months following completion of the programme.

 

Identify the competencies impacting your business

Take the opportunity to self-assess against a range of competencies identified as drivers of business productivity. Understand your strengths and how to optimise them, and identify gaps which may be hindering your ability to achieve the full potential of your business.

Your personalised report can be shared with your mentor who will help you to identify the programme supports that will best help you develop you and your business’s productivity.

Online sessions with a dedicated sector-specific mentor

Over three online mentoring sessions, your assigned sector-specific mentor will provide support and expert guidance throughout the programme. They will offer you tailored advice and practical recommendations relevant to the needs of your business, taking inputs from the challenges you selected on your application form and your competence assessment results.

Throughout the sessions, they will help you formulate a bespoke Business Improvement Plan for the next 6 months.
