Testimonials
"I love the opportunity to extend my own learning through engaging in interesting conversations with interesting and highly motivated people. From my experience it is apparent that within those conversations both the mentee and the mentor have the opportunity to develop.
The focus is on identifying and achieving the goals of the mentee but the value add for the mentor is an opportunity to review and refresh knowledge and understanding through the perspective of another professional."
Andrew Connolly
Country Womens' Assoc. of NSW
“This was a very positive experience for me. I felt like I was able to share workplace concerns in a safe space to help me work through things and I was able to gain insights into leadership perspectives I am very appreciative of the time my mentor spent working with me over the last 6 months.
The Strengths Profile was a great tool to see where I can tap into my skills and was a new way to look at skills for me. It was one of the best things for my career at the moment, I was able to achieve outcomes I did not expect. It has had a highly positive impact on my leadership.”
Bridget Challis
Wentworth Healthcare
“Having a professionally selected mentor has been a game changer for me. By being external to my organisation and leveraging his own experience and expertise my mentor provided focused advice and guidance, easily navigating through the issues I had presented him, which helped me find clarity and a way forward.
I can now see the benefits of mentoring in its purest, most professional form. The extra resources (training, goal setting workshop, strength profiling) have helped me to get the most out of this experience.”
Ari Soemardi

"As a mentor, I found Beaumont’s LEAD Mentoring Program a rewarding opportunity to support a capable mid-career leader.
It was a privilege to be a sounding board and to hear my mentee talk through what was on their mind. It was a growth experience for me too.
The support provided to mentors was of the highest quality and most helpful. Thank you. I encourage professionals considering becoming a mentor to reach out to Beaumont and be part of this valuable program.”
