1. ABOUT VISIONARY PEOPLE MENTORING, THE OWNER OF THE WEBSITE

1.1. The Website is owned by the Visionary People Mentoring company of Drs. Thierry Limpens.

Visionary People Mentoring is a mentoring service based on the idea that no one can stop someone’s visionary power. Or rather, people’ belief in their visionary power cannot be stopped. Visionary power shows the positive life force of people who are unstoppable in creating sustainable success.

The mentoring program guides the success and success potential of people, companies and organizations through the concept of what it calls visionary power. Visionary People Mentoring’s mission is to help people express this power creatively/artistically.

The program begins by identifying the visionary strengths of the client, or ‘mentee’ (the one being mentored), in terms of their skills, life highlights, visions, talents and abilities. This inventory is achieved through in-depth interviews and observations.

The next step is to develop together with the client (‘mentee’) how this inventory can be externalized. Here the program investigates which partners can be hired to translate a presentation of the mentee's visionary power into, for example, an autobiography, a film, a poem, a visual work of art or into another artistic expression. Visionary People Mentoring determines together with the client which means are suitable to express her or his visionary power in a creative/artistic way.

1.2. In terms of business operations, Visionary People Mentoring is cooperative. It concludes contracts with clients who are administratively managed and controlled by the Belgian departments of the Smart group.

Smart is an international cooperative founded in Belgium in 1998. The cooperative supports thousands of autonomous workers in developing their activities in a wide variety of sectors. Smart is present in almost 40 cities in 8 European countries.

The Smart group is based on different legal structures. Smart is managed in Belgium and France as a single sub-group, with four separate boards of directors managing the different entities: for Belgium the Smart Foundation (SmartBe) and SmartCoop, for France the Scic SmartFr and the Scop GrandsEnsemble. A general meeting is organized annually in which all structures are integrated.

The Belgian Smart-Coop is registered under the legal structure of “cooperative company with limited liability with social objectives” (CVBA SO). The company operates in the spirit of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA). This is the umbrella world organization of the international cooperative movement.
