I was delighted to have been invited by Harpenden Town Council and The Institute of Directors to be their guest speaker at The Rothamsted Conference Centre on Monday evening.

And what a wonderful evening it was!

Over 50 business leaders from Harpenden and further afield came together to share their insights and experiences of business mentoring.

As East of England Chair of the Association of Business Mentors (ABM), I believe in the power of mentoring to bring people together and grow businesses.

Some takeaways from the evening:

1️⃣ Research by the ABM reveals a direct correlation between mentoring and business growth. Two-thirds of companies that use professional business mentors grow their revenues, profit,s and take on more staff.

2️⃣ A growing number of business owners are actively seeking a professional mentor.

3️⃣ As a direct result of Monday's event, the Harpenden Collective will be launching a mentoring service for its members.

As Richard Branson famously said:

"A mentor is often the missing link between a promising businessperson and a successful one".

🚀 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 – 𝐈'𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐁𝐌 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫!

When I joined the Association of Business Mentors (ABM) 4 years ago, I never imagined how far the journey would take me.

What began as a chance to meet and learn from other professional mentors has evolved into a deep, rewarding involvement in the mentoring community.

From volunteering as a Help to Grow Mentor to earning a study scholarship, and now supporting ABM’s strategic partnerships in a regional leadership role.

I'm honoured to be appointed Regional Chair for the East of England (Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk).

📅 In the coming weeks, I’ll be inviting ABM members in our region to a series of virtual get-togethers so we can connect, share our experiences, and shape the future of mentoring together.

💬 Already an ABM member?

I’d love for you to join the conversation and share your story.

🤝 Not a member yet, but working or volunteering as a business mentor?

Come along too - You’re warmly welcome to see what the ABM community has to offer.

See you soon!

It was a privilege to lead a peer-to-peer workshop at Business Leader's biggest-ever Growth Event in London on 23rd Jan.

The event brought together 100 founders and CEOs for a morning of learning and networking, hosted by James Watt and Richard Harpin - two truly inspirational entrepreneurs who have grown their businesses from scratch to well over £1 billion.

This was a chance for the growth-minded, medium-sized founders to learn from the best and co-create a solution to a business challenge in a peer-to-peer working group.

Needless to say, there were some truly inspiring conversations in the breakout rooms and tangible takeaways on what it takes to grow from 'mid-sized to big-sized'.

Alongside 8 of the Association of Business Mentor's most experienced and qualified business mentors, Chris Dunn was invited to run the break-out sessions and prove the power of peer-to-peer.

Peer-to-peer is all about knowledge sharing, ideation, learning, collaboration, and mutual support.

Participants came away from yesterday's Business Leader session with fresh ideas and an appreciation of new ways to solve old problems.

Are you looking ready to embrace peer-to-peer coaching and mentoring?

Book a call and let's get started.
