Project management, project evaluations and group facilitation. My name is Roisin McDermott, and for over 20 years I have been working as a Business Adviser and Trainer. I started Seed Mentoring after realizing that i loved being at home with the kids but missed the buzz of running a busy enterprise agency. After years of encouraging others to become self employed, I decided it was the best way to
balance the need to work and the need to be at home. Seed Mentoring is about Supporting Enterprise and Economic Development. I have worked for over 20 years with start ups and small businesses. My best learning experience was the 7 years as Manager of East Belfast Enterprise where I developed some great skills such as financial management and planning, team leadership, performance management, strategic development, fundraising and property development, networking and communications. My greatest achievement was leading the Project Management and build of CityEast business centre on Newtownards Road, a £3m serviced office development, which I lead from concept to opening. I was also one of the key founders of Women In Business NI which has grown year on year to a professional business network for women in Northern Ireland with now 1000+ members. I specialize in Training and Mentoring for start up and small business, women's groups, community groups and social enterprise as well as project management, project evaluation and group facilitation. My aim is to help others plant seeds of ideas and desires and help them nurture their business into fruition. I want to assist those in need to move a little further along their business (or personal) path.
