Coaching

Coaching and follow up

After each training there will be a WhatsApp or Signal group created up with the participants. One facilitator will be in charge of overseeing the follow up. The team that will follow up will consist of some facilitators and the local leaders from that area.

We challenge all participants to send in the following items to the leadership of the training within 3 weeks (all templates can be found on https://pioneerbusinessplanting.org):

• Personal Budget
• Business Model Canvas and Business Plan
• Business Budget

Not everyone that we train, we can and will coach.
