Entrepreneurship is all about moving forward—and making decisions at every turn. To succeed, being skilled in your field isn’t enough. You also need to know when to challenge your own ideas and take a step back. That’s where business mentorship from the SADC des Laurentides makes all the difference.
What is mentorship at the SADC des Laurentides?
Mentorship is not consulting or traditional coaching. It’s a relationship between an entrepreneur and an experienced mentor, built on active listening, thoughtful questioning, and strategic insight. It’s a space to think out loud, clarify ideas, and strengthen your confidence as a business leader.
Our mentors come from strong entrepreneurial or management backgrounds, people who have led businesses, transformed organizations, navigated complex challenges, and learned from real-world experience. What they all share is a sincere desire to help entrepreneurs move forward, unlock their potential, and grow their leadership skills.
Why does mentorship truly make a difference?
- It helps clarify your vision and organize your ideas.
- It provides an objective outside perspective on challenges and decisions.
- It builds confidence and helps you better manage priorities.
- It turns obstacles into opportunities through thoughtful conversations.
This kind of support is for every entrepreneur—whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience—because even seasoned business owners face complexity.
