Coaching and Mentoring Agreement

Coaching and Mentoring Agreement

What is mentoring?

Mentoring allows you to benefit from the thoughts and experiences of an expert businesswoman. Together you can develop your business. Any decisions should be made by you and are entirely your responsibility. It is not possible to guarantee certain results from mentoring as every business operates under specific circumstances.

Mentoring is always confidential. Anything you share in a session, between sessions, spoken or written, will be between you and the coach.

Mentoring does not provide you with therapy. If you have mental health issues please speak to your GP.

Telephone mentoring: Telephone sessions will last up to 55 minutes. You are responsible for calling the mentor at the appointed time. You may be able to arrange for your session to take place via Skype: please contact the individual mentor.

Be prepared for your session in a quiet place a few minutes before your call. Have any supporting material you need to hand and focus on what you want to achieve from the call.

After your call, note down the actions you have agreed upon. To make the most of the coaching allocate time during each month to follow up your actions. Be prepared to discuss what you have done in your next session so your mentor can help you evaluate and improve.

Email Support: If you book a single session you are entitled to contact your mentor for brief ad hoc advice or support via email on one occasion. If you book a block of six sessions you are entitled to contact your mentor for brief ad hoc advice or support via email on an ongoing basis. Mentors will aim to reply to your query within 48 hours.

Face-to-face sessions: If you are able to travel to the mentor, it is possible to book face to face sessions. Email antonia@themumpreneurguide.co.uk to enquire.

Payment: You need to pay in advance for each session. Please book via the Mumpreneur Guide website. By booking a session you agree to the guidelines on this page and the Mumpreneur Guide terms and conditions and privacy policy.

Cancellation: Please give 48 hours notice if you need to cancel a session. A £25 charge will be made for sessions cancelled or postponed without 48 hours notice.

Effective mentoring

It is important that you are comfortable with your mentor and the process of mentoring. You also need to feel that you are making progress and getting value for money. If at any point you are uncomfortable about the mentoring process or feel you are not getting what you need from mentoring, please email your mentor directly. If you are unable to gain resolution, then feel free to contact antonia@themumpreneurguide.co.uk who will do everything she can to ensure that you get the mentoring you need.
