About Horsesmouth




horsesmouth is where social networking meets social enterprise; where personal contributions create public value; where human capital is unlocked to create social capital. It's social networking with a purpose. It's social networking for grown-ups. We call it the wisdomocracy.

 

Be a mentor 
If you've lived, you've learned. From starting a business to starting a family, from living with cancer to life as a carer, from which NVQ to embarking on an MBA. What did you do right? What do you regret? What pearls of wisdom would you pass on? The skills and knowledge you've gained could be invaluable to people facing the same choices and challenges; people you might otherwise never meet and who would never be lucky enough to meet you. Now with horsesmouth there's a safe, easy and rewarding way to 'give something back'.

 

Find a mentor 

When faced with a choice, challenge or change in life, do you ever wonder how other people coped with the same situation? What choices did they make and how did they turn out? Wouldn't it be useful if you could talk to someone who's 'been there, done that' and is willing to share their first-hand experience with you? And wouldn't it be great if that could be anonymous, confidential and secure? It's always better if you can get wisdom straight from the horse's mouth. And now you can.

 I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.

well what a geat website! in all honestly, i basically typed in "agony aunts online" while on a down day just expecting some upbeat optimism on the computer, and came across this site. it is so much better than just reading a passage on a website, to actually talk to REAL people for honest advice and listening about particular subjects rather than a general overview.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who replied to one of my recent shout outs about forgiving - every message was useful and some very helpful indeed! It really feels good to know other people understand how i've been feeling, and to know there are people not far from me to help! Thanks so much, and everyone please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help anyone with any problem you may be having xxx
