Mentoring



One of the ways we hope to achieve our goal as a social business is to mentor homeless individuals, giving them guidance and direction. It’s a strategy that has been used at different age levels and different situations. Mentoring provides a structured and trusting relationship. Mentoring bring people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement. 


I was introduced to an amazing individual, Heather Yelland. She is a leading emotional enterprise specialist. Heather is the founder of Yelland Enterprise Pty Ltd, the founder of Abundant Business Concepts and the director of SuperCamp Australia. Her work helps those within businesses or life to work productively by focusing on building on their emotional productivity. 



For some time she has been mentoring an acquaintance of mine, Julian Kozijevic. They have consulting seasons where he talks about where he is going in his life and if he has set new goals or accomplished any goals. Heather guides him to achieve what he is capable off. 



This is what we want to do with our homeless, we want to guide them to see their potential, for them to realise that they can create relationships, build life long bonds and accomplish goals and mean something in the world. We want to help build their life again to give them a chance to accomplish goals that they set on their own by giving them a kick start.



Do you know of a similar social business which helps people like this?
