Call for mentors to come help local entrepreneurs
Business mentoring is an important support tool for developing current leaders, business leaders of future, aspiring entrepreneurs and those who seek that little extra development to realise their potential.
As a Chamber of Commerce we are often asked and reminded how vital business mentoring is to support the business community and to ensure continued sector growth across a range of industries based here in Lochaber.
Mentoring is a fantastic way to share experiences and benefit from the knowledge and skills gained from listening to leaders from other organisations and sectors, sharing challenges and understanding the path of success.
We have a wealth of successful business leaders in Lochaber and it’s this experience we know would be of great benefit to your business, as well as the wider community.
The Chamber has access to a number of business leaders, speakers and accomplished business minds who are keen to share their methods and toolkits for success. Could you be a business mentor?
Could you benefit from having a business mentor? Two questions but both equally as powerful.
We would love to welcome new experienced local business managers, owners, leaders who are willing to join our network of mentors to help others in the business community.
If you’ve taken a few knocks, learned things that you think would be useful to pass on, want to see business in Lochaber grow and succeed and would be able to spare a bit of time to help then we want to hear from you. Conversely, we want to hear from you if connecting with a local business mentor would benefit you. We understand the importance of mentorship, so knowing that this would be something that you or a colleague may benefit from will help us continue shaping future support to the Lochaber business community regardless of your tenure.
Mentoring might not be something that you have ever considered, but a huge number of businesses across all industries gain enormous benefit from the impartial input of this connection; from increased understanding, improved communication, reinforced confidence and gaining that renewed motivation to try something that may improve your business.
The Chamber has previously written in this column that we have to learn to adapt, fail fast and learn quickly, changing the way that we operate and support Lochaber. This will continue, maybe you could be there with us and help the next stage of development?
Lochaber Chamber of Commerce is here to support you, connecting you with the help you need and wider business community. Connect with us today and contact us by emailing membership@ lochaberchamber.co.uk
