Volunteer Career Mentoring
Getting pragmatic and honest feedback isn't easy to come by. Being honest with and open with yourself is almost as hard as it is to be with others.
That is either by our design or because those people can't or won't have people challenging you in the way which comes from understanding your goals and abilities.
I provide free personal mentoring via various local programmes for marginalised individuals and groups seeking help with personal challenges, securing work, and adapting to modern work environments.
Free Business Growth Advice
If you are thinking about starting your own business or are struggling financially and looking to achieve growth, I can support you for free via various funded business mentoring programmes.
In the past I had the luxury of launching services/business on a salary and when you're only accountable to yourself you have to create plans, structures, and goals, and motivate yourself to do things outside your comfort zone. Having mentored, advised, and nurtured the launch, of businesses across Manchester, Wales, and Lancashire, I've support startups in various way;
- Analysis of business idea and exploration of viability
- Strategic business planning to grow revenue and secure funding
- Advise on transitioning to self-employed including the tax and legal responsibilities required to maximise profit in a compliant way
- Helping you stay motivated and manage the person impact of starting a business
- Cost analysis and cash flow planning for new and existing products or services
- Marketing and social media tools and techniques which are free to use
- Creating personalised action plans with regular 1:1 mentoring sessions
