The mentoring experience

Whether its professionalizing an existing program or introducing a mentoring plan to your organization, PVA Consulting can help. As the regional affiliate of Coaching and Mentoring International (CMI), we draw from time tested best practices to help your organization build a sustainable culture of learning.

The right mentoring experience can be powerful and transformative. In mentoring relationships, effective skills and structures are vital for success. When these skills and structures are neglected, relational boundaries become blurry, networks become limited, and development gets hindered. PVA Consulting can help your organization to make sure your program is designed to succeed.

In addition to traditional mentoring programs, PVA offers unique programs focused on family owned businesses. Since 2013, Donnel has been working in collaboration with international leaders in the field of family business advising, education, developmental mentoring, and coaching to address the unique needs of families in business.

Services include seminars and workshops to introduce you to the concept of familial mentoring. Educational services are also available in the form of ongoing consultation. Services are currently available in Hawaii and Continental United States.
