I recently had the privilege of joining Business Mentors NZ's training and annual meeting. It was a thought-provoking experience, surrounded by passionate mentors and the dedicated team, including amazing Colin Bass, Leo Grachev, Brook Tracey, June Robinson and Sarah Trotman, ONZM. The genuine commitment to making a difference really resonated with me. Organizations like Business Mentors NZ create ripples of progress—uplifting small businesses while nurturing a culture of giving back and continuous learning. Sarah's visionary leadership and June's efforts in expanding this network, including bringing me on board, are driving meaningful change. I shared my "Mentoring Needs Analysis" approach on this platform — a framework to better understand mentees' unique needs for impactful guidance. I believe this perspective can help many mentors tailor their approach more effectively. The power of mentorship lies in deep listening, understanding, and then guiding—not just following a script. Business Mentors NZ is a testament to what purposeful collaboration can achieve—stronger businesses, empowered people, and a thriving community. Looking ahead, I see potential in more diverse mentor-mentee pairings and cross-sector collaboration to amplify our impact. Mentorship isn't just about giving advice; it's about sharing the journey, learning together, and growing as individuals. To those considering stepping into this space—it's a path of profound mutual growth. #BusinessMentorsNZ #Mentoring #CommunityImpact #GrowthMindset #ProfessionalDevelopment
