What is Business Mentoring?


In all facets of life, any ability, talent or business skills need to be constantly exercised and upgraded in order to maintain a competitive edge. World champion athletes all have coaches. Sporting teams rely on regular training and guidance from coaches to ensure their continued success. Your business is no different.

The old adage of “use it or lose it” has never been more appropriate. Every successful business requires mentoring to keep it on track, provide feedback and suggest initiatives in order to provide a point of difference with the competition. Henry Ford once said “successful business leaders surround themselves with talented people”; in small business mentoring often is the only answer.

Most business owners are usually heavily involved in running the business from day to day to such an extent that they have little or no time to dedicate to structuring an effective business plan, developing new markets and opportunities or the regular training of staff. It all just seems to hopefully happen “on the job”!

Business Mentoring provides the opportunity to ensure that the vital activities of training, facilitation and development are an integral part of your business operation. Our approach in Storkeys’ Team is to provide a specifically designed yearly programme to meet your business’s unique needs.

From regular staff training sessions and assessments to strategic planning and facilitation, this programme keeps the business on track and you in control. Many view staff training as a cost however most successful businesses realize that it is an investment in the company’s future.

The importance of building a cohesive team in order to achieve the businesses’ vision cannot be over emphasized and this is where the business mentoring programme comes into its own. If you want to be a market leader in your field and exceed your customers expectations and achieve your goals then business mentoring can show the way.

“Business Mentoring” will give you an insight into one of the vital tools essential in business success and fulfillment of your role!
