Question 2

What is expected of me if I decide to be mentored?

Accepted Answer

Being mentored requires the availability to meet once or twice a month virtually with your mentor, showing up for mentoring sessions, being responsive to communications (email, WhatsApp, or text), and a monthly payment (see note on payment options below). We have also created the Ardent Roadmap, which will guide you and help you capture the gold from your mentoring. We highly encourage you to use this tool. Your mentorship journey has the greatest likelihood of success if you have the capacity and desire to meet these expectations.

Question 3

Who would I be mentored by?

Accepted Answer

Ardent has a large network of world-class, highly experienced individuals who mentor our mentees. We vet each of our mentors to ensure they have been highly successful in their expertise, are mature in their faith, and have had experience mentoring.

Question 4

What can I expect from my mentoring sessions?

Accepted Answer

Mentors and mentees typically meet once or twice a month (depending on your subscription) virtually. You can schedule these sessions with your mentor, or we can help with schedule for you. Sessions last approximately one hour and the content and quality of that time is determined by you and your mentor. We encourage you to use the Ardent Roadmap, however, which will guide you and help you capture the gold from your mentoring.

Question 5

What is the average length of mentorship?

Accepted Answer

A mentoring timeline is ultimately based on both the mentor and mentee finding value in the mentoring journey. We have found that the average mentoring journey lasts anywhere from 9-12 months, but many have lasted longer while others have been shorter.

Question 6

How do you match your mentors and mentees?

Accepted Answer

Upon registration, we ask mentees to provide us with the opportunities in front of them, needs they have, and challenges they are currently facing, as well as details about their enterprise. We use this information to intentionally find the perfect match. We not only have a pool of Mentors ready to go, but we will also search our network if we need to get a mentor outside of our Ardent Database.

Question 7

What are your payment options for mentees?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing plans are designed to meet you in your current growth stage. Click here to see details. You can cancel at any time.

Scholarships are available if cash flow is a current issue for you and your enterprise. We do not want finances to get in the way of receiving the mentoring that you need.

Question 8

How does scheduling work?

Accepted Answer

Once you are paired with a mentor, your introductory session will be scheduled by Ardent. After your introductory session and once you decide to move forward with your mentor, we have found that standing, monthly meetings are the most effective and efficient way to ensure that you and your mentor meet regularly. Ardent helps establish and manage standing meetings between mentors and mentees. If standing sessions would not work well for you and your mentor, you are welcome to schedule your sessions on a monthly basis.

In the event of an emergency, or if your mentor is unable to accommodate a session, we'll work to reschedule your missed session. Sessions missed without any prior notice will not be rescheduled.

Question 9
