BizMentors Galway have defined Mentors as “people with a proven track record of business success who volunteer their experience, advice and support to small business owners and developers, with key objectives of supporting the growth and development of the business owner and the business”.

In 2004, David Clutterbuck[1], an academic who studied mentoring relationships, coined an acronym for what Mentors do:

– Manage the relationship

– Encourage

– Nurture

– Teach

– Offer mutual respect

– Respond to the learner’s needs
