Mentoring Sprint

Short-cycle support to move from ideas to traction.

Feeling stuck in day-to-day fires? Needing a nudge to go from “we should” to “we will”?

  • Outside Perspective

    When you’re running an SME, every day can bring a new challenge—be it brand confusion, lagging sales, staff headaches, or outdated processes. It’s a lot to juggle, and sometimes you just need an outside perspective to pin down what really matters. That’s where our mentoring comes in.

  • Think Big

    We work with small and mid-sized businesses ready to tackle any challenge—from reshaping their brand to sharpening a digital rollout, or even rethinking organizational structure. Our mentors each specialize in different areas but share a direct, no-fluff style built on EMCC guidelines. We believe you learn fastest when you’re encouraged to think big, try practical steps, then refine what actually works.

  • Move Beyond Wishful Thinking

    It’s an approach that pushes you to move beyond wishful thinking. In each session, you’ll define clear goals, walk away with a short to-do list, and check in regularly for feedback and support. No jargon, no convoluted strategies—just honest insight tailored to your reality, so you can see real progress in the areas that count.

Who’s it For ?

  • SME Owners & Managers juggling constant priorities, needing outside perspective and structure.

  • Lean Teams aiming for concrete improvements—whether boosting sales, refining brand identity, or simplifying tech.

  • Ambitious Leaders wanting more than a short fix. You’re ready to dig deeper, fix blind spots, and make big strides forward.

Our Mentoring Structure

  • Option A: 6-Session Program

    A focused track over about 3–4 months. We zero in on your top concerns—like a brand reboot, an urgent commercial fix, or a digital pilot. Each session is 1–1.5 hours of intense, outcome-driven dialogue.

    Session 1: Map goals and define success.

    Session 2: Assess current state—gaps, potential wins.

    Session 3: Craft or refine strategy (brand, sales, or tech).

    Session 4: Launch a pilot or solve a pressing challenge.

    Session 5: Feedback, tweak, and sharpen your approach.

    Session 6: Wrap up, lock in best practices, plan next steps.

    Best For

    SMEs with a pressing need and limited time. Perfect if you want quick wins and a clearer path to growth.

  • Option B: 12-Session Program

    A longer, more comprehensive path spanning 6–9 months. We tackle multiple areas—maybe brand alignment plus commercial pivot plus deeper tech adoption. Each session runs 1 hour, giving ample time for reflection, testing ideas, and refining.

    Sessions 1–2: Goal setting, deep-dive on your day-to-day.

    Sessions 3–4: Future vision, brand or digital strategy.

    Sessions 5–6: Identify roadblocks, start pilot or deeper project.

    Sessions 7–8: Review pilot results, adapt or scale up.

    Sessions 9–10: Second pilot or new strategic initiative.

    Sessions 11–12: Consolidate progress, finalize roadmap, ensure you can sustain momentum.

    Best For

    SMEs facing broader transformation—major brand refresh, multi-step digital rollout, or complex commercial expansion. Ideal if you want enough breathing room to test, iterate, and embed change.
