Every client starts with a desire to shift something. Lingering cobwebs from your past holding you hostage from the leader you desire to be? Is it time to reinvent who you are as you redesign your business? We started with one entrepreneur in 1992. We have mentored thousands. We are ready to invest the time in you. Are you ready to take a leap into our WeMentor Entrepreneurial Leadership and Mentoring LAB and see what happens? Read on…
“Everything I have done with Nancy has been amazing! The track record is there. I have worked with Nancy during the early years of my business in the late ’90s. I was in several groups for three years, wrote my first business plan, and got a small loan. I advanced my business acumen 5 years every two to three months.
In 2016, I felt stuck, overwhelmed, tired of my business and needed to grow myself while growing my business, again. I joined a LAB for different reasons. This time I honed in on the one big problem I haven’t been able to solve. I got tools I can use, honest feedback I needed, and the homework assignments forced me to do the things I need to do to move myself and my business forward in a safe place. I reinvented myself as I redesigned my business.
Nancy let’s us be who we are. I am not an automatron creating jobs for others. I am both human being and someone attempting to do something great for our world.” – Annette Rondano, The Great Metropolitan Backrub
WeMentor Entrepreneurial Leadership and Mentoring LABs
Our WeMentor E.L.M. LAB process is personal, yet professional, and grounding like the elm tree. The elm tree is the Peacemaker listening without judgment. We bring this kind of attentiveness, commitment, and empathy to each mentoring relationship. We are rooted into the earth to weather any storm. As a participant in one of our WeMentor E.L.M. LABs, you have a chance to explore and practice leading in new ways, with your peers. We support your development in three ways: entrepreneurial development, leadership revolution, and self-mastery. This ignites a deep internally grounded sense of confidence and an unshakeable inner strength with skills you can use throughout your lifetime!
As a WeMentor E.L.M. LAB participant, you will investigate all aspects of running and growing your business. At the same time, you will explore and experiment with new ways of leading; AS YOU LEAD. We support the realization of your goals. We always make sure you, your customers, your team, your employees, your innovation process, and cash flow are front and center.
Mentoring Works!
Business schools and entrepreneurial development programs often pay scant attention to the crucial role personal development and self-mastery plays in creating a successful entrepreneurial life. Too many promising entrepreneurs and business leaders fail because of poor personal decision-making that could have been avoided. Successful businesses depend on both, and you will see equal time and attention devoted to each WeMentor strategic mentoring session.
The secret ingredient of WeMentor training is mentoring – one of the oldest forms of human development. We learn from each other. WeMentor group training pairs you with successful entrepreneurs in a range of fields, and also connects you with your peers – peers with particular strengths mentor those who need support in key areas. And since we all have different strengths and limitations, everyone will act as both mentor and mentee during the training.
“When I joined a LAB, I was curious about this dual innovation process of working on yourself while I work on my business. I was curious about what I might learn and was open to the process. I was focusing on my business at the expense of other things, not joyful. I was no longer able to see the vision, rolling along not striving or achieving, couldn’t get clarity around it.
The program is organized with a system in place. The schedule is useful. If you are going to do some work to create change, you need to do some work to stay on track. Accountability built into the schedule is useful to staying in the conversation.
There is enough freedom for members to go through the process at their own pace as part of the structure. I get honest feedback along the way. There is freedom to be smart about what we are doing and learn from each other. A safe place to be who we are and practice living a more integrated life.” -Jodi Standke, Talon Performance Group
The Culture We Create
You are paired in a LAB with others who equally care about you and become emotionally invested in your journey as you become invested in theirs. We co-create a trusting, intellectually stimulating, and energetic learning environment so you can feel more deeply to think, act, lead, and mentor more effectively and clearly!
A psychologically safe environment gives you the opportunity to know yourself and others more deeply. You get to play with your issues instead of stewing in them. The curriculum Nancy has designed integrates the learning from your head (cognitive) to your heart (feelings and emotion) through your hands (physical activity like yoga and meditation, and other activities and techniques like drawing, writing, podcast taping, and discussion). What you learn becomes part of who you are. Therefore, our LABs are 90% practice and 10% theory.
We practice mindfulness yoga, and meditation, focused planning, implement design thinking techniques, tryout success principles, and practice rising strong strategies. You will practice leading with more clarity, efficiency, with accountability, and lead more deliberately. Get rid of what you don’t need anymore. We are equipped to help you forge ahead in these times of great uncertainty when we need more coping strategies, brave leadership, stress management skills, life success techniques, and focus!
If you are innovating, you are designing. Design thinking is a way to identify and investigate problems, sometimes messy problems where ambiguity and uncertainty are part of the process in designing solutions for end users/customers/clients/consumers. We use design thinking to empathize with you, understand how you lead, and investigate leadership abilities as you break through to new dimensions in entrepreneurial leadership and business ownership. It is a way to figure out what will work as we mentor you!
