Listen carefully to your customers: Your business depends on them, so ask for feedback, talk to customers about what they want and what they need.
Hire progressive employees: You might not see all the new trends, but your forward-looking employees will. Find ambitious people who share your vision and will secure the future of your company.
Hire a consultant: If you feel thar your company should go through some changes but do not know where to start and how to go about it, some experts on the topics can you keep up with the times.

Name: Cécile Sauvage
Experience as Entrepreneur (years): 4 years
Experience as Mentor (years): 7 years
Company name:Markeut Skills
Mail contact: cecile@meuskills.eu

Field of business/description of activity:
Non formal soft and entrepreneurial development and training.

Ask me about / how do you describe yourself?
I am a young entrepreneur that is shared between work and intense family life. I chose this activity in order to better combine both aspects of my life, as entrepreneurship provides more freedom to work from the place you want and when you want / can. As for my personality, I would say that I am a quite organised person, and that I don’t like to have pending tasks, so I prefer to make things today than letting them for tomorrow. I have some creativity, despite this can always be improved. And I am very oriented to international / multicultural aspect. This is one aspect of my work that I most like.

Why do you want to become a mentor?
I became a mentor before being myself an entrepreneur. In my case, things where somehow reversed. I worked in a consultancy helping entrepreneurs in the development of their activities. And this is probably this experience that motivated me to become myself an entrepreneur. My activity of mentoring has been oriented to the support to small entrepreneurs and self-employees in running their business, especially for the implementation of new projects, human resources aspects and access to funding. I became, thanks to this working experience, expert in those fields and provided assement and mentoring to numerous entrepreneurs.

What are your mentoring field expertise?
I have expertise in the field of Human Resources, as I have been working for many years in a HR consultancy, providing new and innovative forms of training oriented to team building, but also selection of new staff and talent management. I have a lot of experience in teamwork and how teams should be managed to get highest performance. In addition, I also have mentored entrepreneurs in the field of access to funding for the launch of their projects, especially in the field of EU grants, both for project in transversal fields linked to entrepreneurship as for technical projects, for instance helping entrepreneurs in presenting SMEs instruments requests, etc.

How can you help and inspire migrant entrepreneurs?
To start with, I am myself a migrant, I come from France in Spain, so it is not that far, but even though, I had to deal with a different language and culture. Some of my colleagues would always find me a little bit weirdy for some typical french habit that are not the same here. But I am also aware that I didn’t have to deal with such discriminations that other migrants might suffer. Then, I like to work on interpersonal skills and entrepreneurial attitude, as I believe that those are key for succesful entrepreneurship, and I hope that I might be able to inspire migrant in these fields. I think that working on good behaviours, respect, trust, responsibility and other entrepreneurial values is fundamental for the development of good relationships of the entrepreneur with his surrounding environment, and will help him to get supported by a solid network of collaborators, internally and externally, thus helping him in launching succesful initiative. I hope being able to inspire migrants with those value to encourage them in this field.
