Elevate your Business with Mentor Support

Even seasoned leaders of established and growing businesses can benefit from external guidance.
Mentor support might be the key to unlocking you and your company’s full potential.

Is Business Mentoring Right for you?

Many successful business owners reach a point where they need an external perspective and strategic guidance. Perhaps your business is stable, but you want to stay competitive, or you’re experiencing growth and need to ensure it’s sustainable and well-managed. Maybe you’re facing complex decisions about expansion, new markets, or operational improvements.

You might be feeling stuck, knowing you need to make changes, but uncertain about the best direction to take. Sometimes when you’re deeply involved in day-to-day operations, it’s difficult to see the bigger picture or identify what’s really holding your business back.

If you’re looking for an experienced sounding board to challenge your thinking, help you develop your leadership skills, or provide fresh insights on your business challenges and opportunities, mentoring could be exactly what you need.

Business mentoring isn’t just for struggling companies – some of the most successful businesses use mentoring to maintain their edge and continue growing. An experienced mentor brings objectivity, accountability, and decades of practical knowledge to help you make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Who do we work with?

We partner with ambitious business owners and directors who value an external perspective to accelerate their business growth. We’re not sector-specific; we’ve got experience across a broad range of businesses. Whether you’re running a micro-business or leading a thriving SME, we work you if you recognise yourself in one of these situations:

  • You’re experiencing rapid growth but feel like you’re constantly firefighting rather than leading the business strategically
  • You are stuck and you’re not sure why – you know there’s potential for more but you can’t identify what’s holding you back
  • You’re facing significant changes in your market or industry and need an objective view on how to respond effectively
  • You’ve reached a point where every day feels overwhelming, you’re working harder than ever, but feel like you’re going backwards
  • You’re a successful business owner who wants to maintain momentum whilst creating better systems and processes for sustainable growth
  • You’re preparing for your next growth or business phase but need clarity on priorities and strategic direction

What We Offer

Strategy Sessions

Our comprehensive 3-hour strategy sessions form the foundation of every mentoring relationship. These intensive sessions provide the clarity and direction your business needs to move forward with confidence.

What happens during your strategy session:

  • We conduct a thorough analysis of your current business position, examining strengths, challenges, and untapped opportunities
  • Together, we identify the key issues holding your business back and the specific opportunities that could accelerate growth
  • We develop a clear, actionable plan with practical steps you can implement immediately
  • You’ll leave with defined priorities and a roadmap that aligns with your business goals

Why strategy sessions matter

These sessions aren’t just planning exercises – they’re diagnostic sessions that reveal what’s really happening in your business. Many business owners are so immersed in daily operations that they miss critical patterns and opportunities. Our strategy sessions provide the space and external perspective needed to see your business clearly.

The insights and plan we develop together become the blueprint for our ongoing mentoring relationship. Rather than generic advice, everything we work on will be tailored to your specific situation and goals.

Format and delivery

Strategy sessions are conducted face-to-face whenever possible, creating the focused environment needed for this important work. Online sessions can be arranged when location or circumstances require it, ensuring geographical boundaries don’t prevent access to the support your business needs.

Strategy sessions are available as stand-alone one-off or quarterly sessions for business owners who find themselves stuck or needing a reset. Send an enquiry here if you’re interested.

Business Mentoring Sessions

Following your initial strategy session, our regular mentoring sessions keep you on track and moving forward. These focused 1.5-hour sessions are where the real work happens – turning your strategic plan into tangible results.

How our mentoring sessions work

Each session is structured around your progress and current challenges. We review what you’ve accomplished since our last meeting, address any obstacles you’ve encountered, and plan your next steps. This isn’t about theory – it’s about practical problem-solving and keeping momentum in your business.

What to expect in each session:

  • Progress review against your strategic plan and agreed actions
  • Honest feedback on your decisions and approaches, including constructive challenge when needed
  • Guidance through specific business challenges as they arise
  • Accountability for the commitments you’ve made to yourself and your business
  • Celebration of your wins, both big and small – recognising progress is crucial for sustained motivation and momentum
  • Strategic adjustments to your plan as your business evolves and circumstances change

Session format

Most mentoring sessions are conducted online, giving you the flexibility to fit them into your schedule without travel time. This regular touchpoint ensures consistent support and prevents you from drifting away from your strategic goals.

The monthly 1.5-hour format provides enough time to thoroughly discuss your progress and challenges whilst respecting your busy schedule. It’s long enough for meaningful conversation but focused enough to maintain momentum throughout the session.

Ongoing support and accountability

These sessions create a rhythm of accountability that many business owners find invaluable. Knowing you have a mentoring session coming up naturally encourages action and progress. The regular check-ins ensure small issues are addressed before they become significant problems.

Testimonials

“Working with Debbie at Boost and Beyond Business Solutions has been a total game changer for me and my construction business. Before I started mentoring with Debbie, I was constantly in the thick of it—always working in the business and never on it.

Thanks to her support and guidance, I’ve gained so much more head space and clarity. I now feel more in control, have a better work-life balance, and even have time for a social life again! Debbie’s approach is honest, practical, and genuinely supportive—she understands business on a deep level and really knows how to help you take things to the next stage.

I can’t recommend her enough for any business owner who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or just wants to grow in a more sustainable way. 

Oliver Wyatt, Champion Projects Ltd

“I decided to have a strategy session with Debbie to help clarify my intentions around driving my business forward. Debbie’s calm pragmatic approach suits me well and I came away with a much clearer vision and some new ideas too. If you want a professionally guided helicopter view of your business and desired outcomes, reach out to Debbie.”

Jules Whale, Jules Whale Life Coaching

“Debbie’s business mentoring was a pivotal moment for me. Her challenging yet supportive approach helped clarify my offer and pushed me and my business forward. I have always been impressed by how Debbie can adapt to any situation, bringing her wealth of experience to every interaction. She gave invaluable insights that were not just generic advice but specifically tailored to my business needs – she is certainly not a one-size-fits-all mentor!
What makes Debbie stand out is how she gets you to step outside your comfort zone in a comfortable way – she provides the perfect balance of challenge and support. Her mentorship has been educational and insightful. Her guidance has helped me create a clear vision of where I want my business to go. I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie to any business owner looking for a boost… and beyond!”

Steph Taylor – Steph Taylor Business Support

“Working with Debbie is always energising, forward focused, and proactive. By overlaying her expert knowledge of the challenges facing, and opportunities for, small businesses, Debbie brings fresh perspective and astute commercial insight to our sessions.
I know I can rely on Debbie to elevate my thinking, turning ideas into purpose-driven outcomes. She steers me away from following the established path, reminding me to always look up and out for inspiration.”

Jo Stickland, Group Director, ILAG.

“Working with Debbie from Boost and Beyond has been a breath of fresh air in the consulting world. What sets Debbie apart isn’t just her expertise – it’s her genuine commitment to pushing boundaries while keeping you firmly in your comfort zone.
I’ve particularly appreciated how Debbie brings a perfect blend of challenge and support to every interaction. She doesn’t just nod along with your ideas; she thoughtfully questions assumptions and gently pushes you to think bigger. But she does this in such an approachable way that you find yourself naturally expanding your horizons rather than feeling pushed.
When we’re mapping out new strategies, Debbie has this uncanny ability to see paths forward that weren’t obvious before. She doesn’t just present solutions – she collaborates with you to build them, making sure they truly fit your needs and capabilities. Her suggestions are always grounded in reality but aimed at maximising potential: not just mine personally, as importantly, my business.”
