Beste mensen,

Ik heb mezelf net aangemeld, lijkt me reuze leuk nieuwe starters, die in een ontwikkelingsland een bedrijf willen beginnen, te coachen tussen eind juni en september dit jaar.

meer lees je erover op: Business in Development Network (BiD network)

Coaching timeline June 28 – September 3

The coaching of business plans takes place between June 28 and September 3, in which you coach an entrepreneur in writing a bankable business plan. All coaches are asked to spend at least 16 hours or more in coaching ‘their’ entrepreneurs.

As a coach your role is to:

- act as a sparring partner (working method, planning & content of the business plan)

- be a gateway to knowledge/expertise (your own & external network + suggestions)

- test the feasibility of the plan (realism, (down)-scaling, finance)

Do keep in mind that it is the participant who is the writer/owner of the business plan: a coach will thus never write (parts of) the business plan.

Coach Kick-Offs

To explain more about the coaching process, we are organizing two Coach Kick-Offs.

The first is at FMO (The Hague) on the 27^th of June and the second is at KPMG (Amstelveen ) on the 3^rd of July, both from 14.30-18.00 (15.00 start).

During these events you will be able to meet other coaches and we will inform you what is expected of a BiD Challenge coach, how plans are matched to the right coach (this year a lot of the matching will be done online!).

If you are interested in still becoming a coach, please send us an email ([e-mail]) and in doing so also note which of the two 2 Coach Kick-Offs you would like to attend. Please make sure you reply on time, as places are limited!

In the meantime, if your have any questions regarding the coaching process, please contact Anneke Evers (020 7555005).

Zie je graag daar/dan, of mail me als je vragen hebt,

Groetjes Ingeborg
