When it comes to creating effective business teams and supportive workplace cultures, diversity and inclusion plays a vital role. At Calmer, we focus on three core values: education, connection, and community. Diversity and inclusion is involved across all three, which is why we’re delighted to be talking with Zeinab Ali this week to understand how we can all benefit from investing in diversity and inclusion strategies.
Growing an entrepreneurial idea into an enterprise takes work, as well as support from all kinds of stakeholders: friends, family, customers, mentors, and more. Partnerships can provide more than a financial investment in your business - they can lead to new opportunities, boost your growth, and introduce you to even more people who can support your work. Discover how to forge your own partnerships, and discover our latest partnership, in this guide.
In order to find the perfect mentor, it’s important to understand what you wish to gain from their mentorship in the first place.
In any scenario, a mentor can provide guidance, support, and the opportunity to accelerate your learning immensely. This can be in a professional scenario, such as a business mentor, or for a more focused form of study, such as learning to code. At Calmer, we focus on providing support to entrepreneurs, and professional teams, taking a more holistic approach when it comes to navigating towards business success in a healthy, happy way.
Whatever your motivations in finding a mentor, we hope this guide will prove useful in finding the perfect person to support you.
