More About Us
WHAT IS MENTORING?

Mentoring is about one person helping another to achieve something that is important to them. It is about giving help and support in a manner that the recipient will appreciate and value and that will empower them to move forward with confidence towards what they want to achieve.

Our mentoring service is about creating an informal environment in which one can feel encouraged to discuss their needs and circumstances openly and in confidence with another person who is in a position to be of positive help to them.

For us it is also about creative development from both business and personal perspectives, which in some ways can lead to creative or cultural leadership benefits.

WHY WE ARE UNIQUE

You may find a coach or mentor that has little business experience or an adviser with little creative mentoring experience. We are unique because we with have all these skills and advised 100’s of creative practitioners and businesses.

Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a great partnership.
