Mentoring that helps small teams keep their best people, grow their next leaders, and build businesses that last.

Overview

What They Do

Leverage Mentoring helps small businesses punch above their weight by making their people their advantage. Every team member gets a mentor: someone they already trust, brought in free, or one of ours, experienced operators met personally before listing. Within weeks, each person has someone in their corner: clearer next steps, honest feedback, blind spots surfaced, confidence building session by session. The platform makes it stick with prep, live shared notes and actions that carry forward, so progress compounds instead of evaporating. The owner sees engagement (never content) and gets the outcomes that matter: people who stay, leaders growing inside the business, and a company that runs, and is worth more, without depending on one person for team development. Live today, from $129 a month per team, growing through the accounting firms and a one-to-many partnership approach with associations.

Challenge

Problem We Are Solving

Small businesses live or die by a handful of good people, and those people are leaving: lack of career growth is now the number one reason Australians quit, named by 42% of employers themselves. Every departure costs up to 75% of a salary, and around half of small businesses don't make it past five years. The owners feel powerless because a team of ten has no promotions to offer. Meanwhile the fix has been sitting in plain sight: mentored people are up to five times more likely to be promoted and twice as engaged, and mentored businesses are about twice as likely to survive. 98% of the Fortune 500 run mentoring. Small business has had no way in. That's the solution that Leverage Mentoring provides.
