Une solution à votre solitude.
« La solitude devient plus criante lorsque le domaine dans lequel vous évoluez est plus solitaire. Vous serez à même de rencontrer des gens comme vous, de partout au Québec, vous discuterez des problèmes qui vous préoccupent et échangerez des solutions en toute confidentialité. Déjà vous y verrez un grand bénéfice et la solitude s’éloignera de votre quotidien, vous ne serez plus seul(e). »
- AGATHE LECLERC, mentore-animatrice de la cohorte MAPAQ 11
“With group mentoring, I'm realizing that I can take my passion further. The sessions are extremely rewarding. We share all our successes, what we’re proud of, and what we worry about... we’re a family!
More importantly, we have the huge benefit of having direct access to a mentors’ experience.”
Elfi Maldonado, Chocolats Qantu and mentee
