Companions
Become a companion
A companion shares their experience with business leaders who are getting started. A few hours a month is enough.
Three ways to help
Run a circle
Bring a few business leaders together over several sessions around a sector or an area.
Hold office hours
Open a one-hour slot to answer questions, online or in person.
How it works
- Request an account by ticking “Companion” and describe your background.
- The team approves your request, usually within a few days.
- Complete your profile: topics, languages, availability, website if any.
- Answer requests or propose a meetup whenever you like.
The companion charter
- Transparent: you say in the first exchange whether you help as a volunteer or as a paid service, and you never solicit anyone who has not asked.
- Honest: you say what you know and refer people to others for the rest.
- Discreet: what is said in an exchange or a circle stays there.
- Restrained: no promises of “neutrality” and no unproven claims.
- Responsive: you reply, even to decline, within a reasonable time.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a CSR expert?
No. Experience as a business leader, in the field or from a successful initiative is often more useful than a title.
How much time does it take?
You decide: one office hour a month or a few exchanges a quarter is enough.
Can a consultant be a companion?
Yes. They state their terms in the first exchange (volunteering or paid service) and do not solicit members who have not asked. Greencelium takes no commission.
