Using a mentor helps you avoid becoming isolated, helps you increase your skills and helps you achieve a better balance between your personal and professional lives.

 

Testimony of a mentored entrepreneur

“Having a mentor to turn to enabled me to improve my skills, to accelerate my development and to share professional experiences. Given that my mentor essentially had to face the same issues and doubts as me, he can guide me in my decision-making and at the same time save me from making costly mistakes.”

Testimony of a mentor

”Being a mentor is a very fulfilling and enriching experience. It gives me the opportunity to be actively involved in Gatineau’s economic development, to contribute to the success of young entrepreneurs and to build my knowledge. My role is not to advise but rather to guide the entrepreneur so that he or she will make informed decisions.”
