Why not? Or, in other words:
When you acquire the knowledge and tools you need to grow, then you have a much better chance of achieving the goals you set. However, when you also find yourself in a community with other women who are of the same mindset, want to join forces to support each other, and want to learn from each other's experience, then any business goal you set can become a reality - and you can enjoy yourself in the process!
Why should I join an entrepreneur community?
What is the WHEN mentoring platform?
Through the mentoring platform, a mentee can easily find the mentor that suits them, purchase the mentoring package they are interested in online, and immediately request a collaboration with the mentor of their choice. The platform acts as a reference point, as it records the remaining duration of a mentoring relationship, sends useful updates about the collaboration, allows the mentor and mentee to update their profile information, and much more.
What’s the difference between mentoring, coaching, and counselling?
A very important aspect of the mentoring process is the sharing of the mentor’s knowledge and experiences with the mentee. Moreover, the mentee can ask for her mentor’s opinion and feedback. In coaching relationships, on the other hand, the coach must remain objective and refrain from expressing their personal views and opinions as well as sharing their personal experiences. Coaches use specific methods and tools to assist in the personal and professional growth of their coaches.
In addition, in the context of mentoring, as designed and implemented by WHEN, mentors are volunteers coming from different fields of work and sectors, whereas coaches offer their services in a professional capacity.
Lastly, mentoring can become a long-term relationship, whereas coaching is (usually) a more short-term collaboration.
The main difference between mentoring and counselling/therapy is that mentoring focuses on the professional growth of the mentee rather than addressing any personal issues/challenges they might be facing. Counselling/therapy, on the other hand, mainly focuses on self-consciousness and personal growth. Moreover, as in the case of coaching, counsellors are specialised professionals, offering their services for a fee.
Nonetheless, all three approaches use some standard tools and practices, and, of course, skills, such as active listening, building a safe framework of trust, and empathy.
How can mentoring help me?
Perhaps you feel that your friends or family are not the best people to help you address your concerns about work. Or you might feel that the issues you are facing are too thorny to ever be resolved. Even so, mentoring through WHEN can, in fact, offer a fresh perspective and help you make your work one of the best parts of your life.
