Mentoring for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs may vary in age, experience, industries they represent, stage of evolution and type of ownership. What is common among all entrepreneurs is the ability to be somewhat unmindful of their limitations. This ability can be a huge strength up to a point. However, when overused can lead to potential failures.
Recognising when to acknowledge those limitations and seek help and support is the true hallmark of a great entrepreneur. Such help can come in the form of a coach-mentor who can listen, empathise, ask the right questions, share experiences and insights, give feedback and help find answers and nudge the founders in the right direction and in the process help them grow both personally and professionally.
Be it a start-up or a high growth situation or a family-business situation, CFI has an enviable pool of coaches who come from diverse backgrounds (domain, industry and functions) and with deep experience and of course the passion to support by coaching entrepreneurs in their journey of starting up and high growth. CFI mentors focus on the entrepreneur and his or her growth so they can focus on their business.
The typical agendas on which entrepreneurs see value in engaging our coaches include articulating the vision and mission, crafting strategy, dealing with a variety of business challenges, fund raising, constantly redesigning the organisation and key roles, building culture, handling co-founder dynamics, hiring well, managing generational changes in family businesses, working with the Board and so on.
So, if you are a venture capitalist or a Board member or an entrepreneur yourself and see the value of a coach-mentor, do talk to us.
