Enterprise Facilitator
The Enterprise Facilitator is the pivot around which all the support activity for entrepreneurs within a particular community takes place. They provide a free, confidential, one to one, business mentoring support to individuals with an idea, who want to take forward their idea and realise their dreams. They are also able to access support from the Panel
for specific needs that they identify with the client and to
supplement this support with any formal business services that are by or to the community. In this way they are able to help people realise their business dreams and support the development of the local economy.
Opportunity Kintyre's Enterprise Facilitator, Lynn Hammal, joined the team in February 2007. She is from the north east of England and, together with the experiences of running her own business, has been particularly inspired by the work of Ernesto Sirolli. Lynn says: "Enterprise Facilitation® is all about people, communities and good communication. It is about working with individuals, building effective teams from within local networks and giving people the freedom to achieve their full potential".
