But Why?

With the Mentorprise Organisation

We’re in an era of no limitations, the postcovid generation is taking no prisoners whether it’s lifestyle choices, social change or what’s possible. With the Mentorprise Organisation forging its very own path as a marketing entity, they thought it wise, and very interesting, to take stock. So, what’ve they discovered?

Speaking with Nina Collis, Head of Talent, it’s clear that a “why not?” attitude has been implemented. Why not change the way our meetings are structured? Why not rework our goal-planning process? Why not take a deep dive into who we are as a brand?

“Just before Christmas, we did a goalplanning session. We’ve always done them every quarter as a habit, almost a copy-andpaste format from the one previous, which was fine because it’s always good to review and focus, but we didn’t really know why we were looking at those specific numbers or setting those specific goals.”

Rob Cotterell, Managing Director, reached out across the network, as far even as Australia, to discover how other goals were being set. An influx of varied perspectives and insights from experienced, thriving entrepreneurs, some of which were kind enough to film ‘how to’ videos for the team.

Some thought-provoking activities came about, whereby Shane Ward, Founder and Director of SGW Marketing Pty Ltd, suggested asking the team some highenergy questions such as “Who are you?”

and “What’s your purpose?”

As a collective, “We want to facilitate growth for all” became the Mentorprise Organisation mission statement. They want to ensure every single person within the organisation has an opportunity to grow, in whatever means feels right to them.

They’ve turned the quarterly plan on its head by instead looking at a 5-year plan, with “quarterly sprints” to aid their success. The feedback has been great, with the team feeling not only inspired but more organised. They were no longer filling up a sheet for habit’s sake, the sessions pulled the entire team, including those in Swindon, Bristol and Manchester, together. The idea is to become better promoting owners, better business owners and set people up to succeed more effectively.

Interestingly, as a result of their introspective review, they discovered that they were fantastic at teaching sales skills, but there needed to be a focus on coaching the coaches.

“How can we improve sales? Teach them better! And not with one Masterclass per year”

With events, meetings, workshops and masterclasses booked in for all departments for the foreseeable, Mentorprise are on a mission. Lots to see and lots to gain from 2023 it seems!

We’re all busy, but it’s never a bad time to ask “why?”
