Mentoring – your guide in providing support, giving feedback and someone to talk over your business with.
Being a small business owner can be quite isolating – take advantage of Helen’s knowledge and experiences, use Helen as a bouncing board to discuss ideas, issues, Helen loves to support and share ideas for the benefit of her clients. Mentoring is development driven.
Helen’s Mentoring is about encouraging, challenging, nurturing, teach and responding to whatever needs her client may have to develop themselves and their businesses. “Together we work together on whatever you need to help you achieve your goals and aspirations”.
