Success Story

“I was appointed the most amazing Partners in Wellbeing specialist [Business Advisor at Melbourne Innovation Centre], she was able to really  hold the space and support me and guide me. And so every week I just look forward to having that call with her to just talk through all the challenging issues that the business was facing. My mentor really believed in me and gave me the belief that I could really get through this really difficult time.”
