Our Business Coaching Program offers an accountability element in support of  entrepreneurs and includes one or more of the following activities:

    • enrollment in a business education training course (when available)
    • enrollment in a peer group (small group cohort sessions) 
    • "homework" or other specific tasks to help you stay on track 
    • referral to other resource partners and community services
  • Clients are invited to schedule 30-minute follow-up counseling sessions when assigned "homework" or tasks are completed, or schedule monthly 15 minute  check-ins to help with accountability and progress. 
  • This is a program designed to offer long-term, ongoing counseling support to business owners and entrepreneurs. As your business progresses, weVENTURE WBC coaches can help provide clarity to make data-driven decisions on next steps.
