Business Mentoring
Circles of Seven is a unique program designed to provide small and medium-sized business owners the opportunity to be mentored by a seasoned business person. The mentorship experience is conducted in a group setting with five other individuals seeking the same mentorship experience. C7 groups meet each month for a nine-month period to discuss a wide variety of business issues.
Entrepreneurs benefit through the relationships they build with others in their groups. They have an outlet to discuss business struggles or frustrations with others who may be experiencing similar hardships. Mentors offer wisdom and knowledge acquired from their experiences with growing their businesses. The program also offers an avenue for the sharing of new ideas and insight.
To register for the 2011-2012 session please contact CEE Project Coordinator Cindy Eack at (309) 438-1941 or caeack@illinoisState.edu.
