Entrepreneur mentoring is an open, supportive, one-on-one relationship rooted in mutual trust and respect. Mentorship is about focusing on the human being at the head of a company

Through this privileged relationship, the volunteer mentor supports an entrepreneur or a mentee by sharing their entrepreneurial experience and helping them benefit from their know-how. This relationship, known as a dyad, is strictly confidential and free from any conflict of interest or judgment.

At Réseau M, the practice of mentoring is governed by a code of ethics, a confidentiality agreement and a set of regulations. Furthermore, mentors must attend ongoing development workshops.

Mentoring is for entrepreneurs of all business sectors who have already gone through the pre-start-up stage and who wish to learn, grow and develop throughout their careers. Mentors and mentees must be willing to engage in their mentoring relationship in a meaningful way.

Businesspeople from all industries can benefit from mentoring, regardless of their income, the nature of their business or their company’s current phase of development: start-up, consolidation, growth/export, takeover/transfer.

Mentoring is also accessible to managers of social economy enterprises.
