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?
