I enjoyed connecting with the entrepreneur, learning and growing in business alone side of her. The coaches and experts knowledge was most valuable and enjoyable to hear their experience.

It was great to see what new and exciting ideas the group had to present. I loved giving insight and new perspective while hearing about the creative new venture my mentee was developing. I loved getting to know my mentee and what his goals were. Once I knew what he was trying to achieve, I was able to connect him to resources and places to find answers. That was really rewarding.

I was grateful to have a mentee that aligned with my expertise as a consultant despite not being a business person. I learned just as much as my mentee. I enjoyed observing very tangible growth in mentee in a short period of time. I appreciate that I could take some of the SBDC courses too to make sure I was prepared for my mentees next steps each week.

My experience with the One&All Mentor program was incredibly rewarding. Having the opportunity to share some insights with a young entrepreneur was personally energizing. Working weekly with my mentee weekly is what I liked best. Watching as she took things from concept to concept to real life offerings.

I had a great experience. I feel that my mentee and I really connected and she and I looked forward to talking weekly. It was very enjoyable to hear about Deardra’s ideas she has for her business. It’s great to hear how she will potentially grow and I loved her ideas.
