I am back on the public speaking circuit for the northern autumn (I am “for hire” after a year’s absence), something I have missed doing, but to balance the money-making there, I have volunteered for the mentoring programme for Business in the Community in Wellington, New Zealand. On the latter point, I was inspired by Ron Entwistle, who has volunteered as well. Sometimes, all a business person needs is empathy, to know that he or she is not alone.
   Ron sees something like 12 to 20 people a month. Because of my schedule, I plan to start on one.
   I’ve been advising folks on a pro bono basis who find me after my speaking gigs, but I thought: why not get in contact with some who have applied through the BITC programme? They would be people who want mentoring, on a less casual basis. In some cases, they may have troubled businesses. It could be a good adventure. Posted by Jack Yan, 12:42  permalink
