The mentor program is available to all entrepreneurs honestly seeking to advance their personal and business development by way of one-on-one mentoring. The 12 month program provides you with 2 hours per month with your mentor. You also have access to our online platform where you can set goals, track your progress and milestones, and get access to content and missions from the exclusive mentoring platform library.
Gain qualitative and subjective counselling and be inspired by your mentor to believe you are capable of producing, executing and achieving.
Learn through experience and observation, often side stepping obstacles and hurdles due to your mentor’s willingness to gift experience and tangible, transferrable advice.
Define and set long-term goals with appropriate steps to realise those goals.
Select the mentor program that is suitable to your business and pay your program fee.
You will be sent links to sign up to our online platform and complete your mentee profile, providing detail on your business goals and focus areas.
Book in your on-boarding interview with a member of the Rare Birds team.
Your mentee interview is conducted via video-conference where we find out your business goals and priorities, challenges and bottlenecks so that we can find a mentor to help you with your specific needs.
After your interview has been conducted you will be matched with a mentor within one to two months.
Once you've been matched you will receive a notification and instructions to book your kick-off meeting with your mentor. In this meeting you will both set goals and objectives and sort out the practical "stuff" - who's doing what and when.
Becoming a mentor can be a great way of sharing your knowledge and experience as well as perfecting your skills at developing others. Your role is all about guidance and helping your entrepreneur to achieve their goals and realise their potential. You’ll help them understand problems, identify solutions and implement their plans. While you won’t get paid for being a mentor, there are lots of other benefits that come with the role – such as:
The chance to pass on all you have learned about good business to someone who will benefit from your experience.
To practice your managerial skills and guide your mentee through a key stage in their career.
A boost to your own career by adding mentorship to your skillset. You’ll learn as much from your mentoree as they do from you.
We appreciate that your time is limited, therefore all we ask is that you commit two (2) hours each month for twelve months. Communication with your mentee can be in person, on the phone, and/or through free apps such as Skype or Google Hangout.
Mentors and mentees are matched through Rare Birds’ online platform via an algorithm that matches candidates based on their skillset, personality, experience and business needs. Once we run your match sessions on the platform, the Rare Birds team then assesses your mentor match personally to assure they are a good fit personality-wise as well as business-wise.
