Industry Experts
Our community of mentors have been hand-selected to provide valuable insights and resources to our INNer Circle members within each of their respective categories. With a particular focus on the key areas of business, including marketing, finance, legal, product development and personal development, each mentor is available for one-on-one workshops and Masterclass panel discussions.
Disclaimer: All mentors delivering mentoring support are experienced business people who wish to help small businesses become better. The support given is to provide alternate ideas, offer a sounding board and to highlight options. Mentors do not decide the direction for the business but offer support for the business to choose its own path with consideration of obstacles and alternatives. Council does not accept any liability for the choices made by businesses that have received mentoring support through Council. A mentor's role is to provide options and not to make decisions. The business owner's role is to take note of the options available, assess the risk and value in each option and for them alone, to make the decision as to the direction of their business. The onus is on the business owner to seek their own professional legal and financial services under all circumstances. All discussions held with the business operator are in private and confidential.
