How Does the Mentoring Process Work?


What areas do we cover?

Being a CEO is a lonely game. I help you go through your current challenges, both business and emotional. Remember that what is happening to you has certainly happened to someone else in your position. I was in your position.


What's the format?

We meet online for an hour four times or twice a month. During our sessions, we review your goals and discuss particular issues or topics.


How much does it cost?

Single session: 100 Euro/hour

A one-hour call is recommended for a quick emergency. To help your company scale, we suggest working together over a three-month period.
