Whether you're a corporate executive or an entrepreneur, you face challenges every day that require you to make strategic, and sometimes difficult, decisions. This is where the support of a more experienced mentor comes into its own, guiding you towards success.

Unlike coaching, which focuses on the achievement of specific, measurable objectives, mentoring is a holistic approach that focuses on the personal and strategic development of the mentee.
It offers invaluable support in managing crises and complex decisions.
A study by French Tech (2023) shows that 70% of mentored start-ups feel more confident in their strategic choices.
The mentor brings an external perspective, helping to clarify situations and avoid costly mistakes.
According to HEC Paris (2022), 85% of mentored managers improve their leadership and internal relationship management.
Mentoring promotes more informed decision-making by providing hindsight and feedback.
It also enables the mentee to better distinguish between short- and long-term issues.
The mentor sometimes plays the role of "sparring partner", challenging the manager's ideas. It helps develop strategic thinking and builds confidence in decision-making.
Mentoring also helps reduce the decision-making solitude often experienced by managers. BPI France (2023) reports that 65% of start-up managers feel isolated. The mentor acts as a moral support, breaking the isolation and reducing stress. They also promote the mentee's personal development, by passing on cross-disciplinary skills.
In short, mentoring is a powerful lever for the human and professional growth of managers.
