Athena Mentoring Program

A Mutual Mentoring Programme

Traditional training and development focuses on one-off interventions with the help of cementing learning within a very short timeframe. However our brain is programmed to learn through experience and as such Aquitude’s Athena mentoring program is designed to offer experiential learning opportunities between entrepreneurs and corporate professionals.

This program is intended to enable both:

• peer mentoring
• reverse mentoring, depending on individual and organisational requirements.

We call this Mutual Mentoring, where both the entrepreneur and the corporate professional mentor each other with pre-agreed outputs; so both parties benefit with specific learning opportunities. It is a helpful relationship based upon mutual trust and respect. It is less of a formalized professional relationship and more of a structured learning partnership.
