Entrepreneurship Centre for Excellence

Three people talking

Entrepreneurial foundations for sustainable practices

We support coaching and mentoring professionals to build sustainable, ethical, and economically viable practices. We focus on professional presence, entrepreneurial mindset, and practical business foundations, while fostering collaboration across the wider entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We help members build a clear and credible professional presence.

We support members to develop entrepreneurial thinking and viable business models.

We strengthen members’ connections with the wider entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Key initiatives

  • Frameworks and tools to clarify professional presence: purpose, values, and services aligned
  • Building collaboration with ESOs and entrepreneurial ecosystem actors, including EMCC peers
  • Resources on entrepreneurial mindset, business models, and pricing for practitioners
  • Knowledge sharing through surveys, workshops, and curated learning materials

Our impact

We help coaching and mentoring professionals get clearer on how to position, present, and sustain their work. Members develop a better understanding of where they’re needed, how they’re recognised, and how their services create real value.

By strengthening professional presence and entrepreneurial capability, we contribute to more viable practices, reduced dependency on under-pricing or over-delivery, and greater confidence in client and partner relationships.

We also strengthen EMCC’s connection to the wider entrepreneurship ecosystem and support more realistic, practice-based conversations about sustainability in the profession.
