FAQ

How confidential is the course?

We agree to keep all information & opinions shared on the Mentoring program completely confidential. We won't share anything discussed with your company or colleagues (unless you specifically ask us to!). In terms of commercial confidentiality, our program is intended to help multiple people at once to make it affordable for our clients. There may be people from other companies on the course, we therefore insist that business sensitive issues are not shared by our Mentees. Instead we will look at areas of the toy business & run through both our presentations of how things work & how to manage them better, along with ample time for Mentees to ask questions based on their own level of understanding.

 

What happens if I start the Mentoring program but then realise it is not for me?

That's no problem, if you decide the program is not for you, you can cancel at no cost. In that circumstance, we just request that you let us know why you want to leave the program & confirm if you feel anything is missing from our program so we can improve it for future Mentees.

​

How is payment made for the Mentoring program?

We can accept payment by Bank transfer or via Paypal.

​

Can we run courses for multiple people from one organisation?
