Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our mentorship approach and process.

What makes your mentorship approach different from traditional consulting?

Unlike traditional consulting where experts provide solutions that your team implements, our mentorship model works collaboratively with you to develop capabilities while solving problems. We don't just deliver recommendations; we guide you through implementation, help you develop the skills to sustain progress, and adapt our approach to your learning style and business context. The result is not just business improvement, but enhanced leadership capacity that continues to drive growth long after our engagement ends.

How do you measure the success of a mentorship program?

We establish clear success metrics at the beginning of each engagement, customized to your specific objectives. These typically include both quantitative business outcomes (revenue growth, profit improvement, operational efficiency) and qualitative measures (leadership capability, strategic clarity, team effectiveness). We track these metrics throughout our engagement with regular reviews, making adjustments as needed. Our ultimate measure of success is your ability to sustain and build upon improvements after our formal engagement concludes.

What types of businesses do you typically work with?

We work with entrepreneurs and leadership teams across various stages, from early-stage startups to established SMEs with up to €50 million in revenue. Our clients typically share a growth mindset, openness to change, and commitment to implementation. We have experience across diverse sectors including technology, professional services, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare. What matters most is not your industry, but your commitment to transformation and willingness to engage fully in the mentorship process.

How much time commitment is required from me as a business owner?

The time commitment varies based on your chosen engagement model and business needs. Typically, you should expect to commit to 2-4 hours per week, including our structured sessions (usually 60-90 minutes) and implementation work. More intensive transformation programs may require additional time, especially during critical phases. We recognize entrepreneurs have demanding schedules, so we design our approach to maximize impact while respecting your time constraints. The most successful engagements occur when clients prioritize this time investment as a strategic activity rather than an administrative burden.

Do you provide specific industry expertise or is your approach more general?

We combine business fundamentals expertise with industry context awareness. Our core strength lies in universal business principles: strategy, leadership, operations, marketing, and finance. We've worked across multiple sectors, giving us valuable cross-industry perspective that often leads to innovative approaches. When specific technical expertise is needed, we can either draw from our network of specialists or work alongside your existing industry advisors. This hybrid approach ensures you get both sound business guidance and relevant industry context.

How do we get started with your mentorship programs?

The process begins with a no-obligation discovery call to understand your business, challenges, and objectives. If there's potential alignment, we conduct a more detailed assessment to identify key focus areas. We then propose a tailored mentorship approach, including structure, timeline, and investment. Once agreed, we begin with an intensive onboarding phase to establish baseline metrics, priorities, and working rhythms. The entire process from initial contact to program launch typically takes 2-3 weeks, allowing us to start delivering value quickly while ensuring the program is properly tailored to your needs.

What happens if our business needs change during the mentorship program?

Business environments are dynamic, and flexibility is built into our approach. We conduct regular reviews of program objectives and adapt as needed to address emerging challenges or opportunities. If significant shifts occur, we'll work with you to reassess priorities and realign our focus areas. Our engagement models are designed with this flexibility in mind, allowing for adjustments without disrupting the overall mentorship relationship. This adaptability ensures the program remains relevant and valuable even as your business context evolves.

Do you offer any guarantees for your mentorship programs?

We're confident in our ability to deliver value, which is reflected in our engagement approach. For subscription programs, we offer a 30-day satisfaction period during which you can exit the agreement if you don't find value. For transformation programs, we often structure a portion of our compensation around achieving agreed-upon milestones. While we can't guarantee specific business results (as these depend on many factors including implementation and market conditions), we do guarantee our commitment to your success, the quality of our guidance, and our responsiveness to your needs.
