A weekend article in the Denver Post/Wall Street Journal Sunday by Kelly Spors offered some great advice for finding a mentor. The advice in nutshell is figure out what you are looking for and then use on these tools to find it.

• MicroMentor
• IdeaCrossing.org
• iMantri.com
• Count Me In (for women)

There are also numerous resources available at a cost, including:

• EO (The Entrepreneur’s Organization)
• Vistage
• Axcelus

Why mention this? A key part of mentoring is performance management, and that is what PositiveWare does really well. As mentioned in the article,

“A good mentor is someone who is expecting the mentee to show up prepared and with their homework, so you waste no one’s time”

Coacing mentors and their mentee clients use PositiveWare as part of regular meetings to stay on track.
