“My biggest takeaway was more confidence in my management and having someone to back that up in terms of a sounding board.  I enjoyed having the opportunity to talk about my issues and to hear my own voice, which was confirming.   I learned not to be so hard on myself and to set boundaries which reduced my stress.  It would have been incredibly beneficial earlier in my career for the tools and to build my confidence.  This has been very beneficial.”

— Helen, HR Manager, Local Government

I learned how to provide leadership and coaching to others and it kept me focused on priorities.

The mentoring has definitely assisted me with growing into the role of leadership within the organisation. I think I am able to be more vocal with other leaders within the business, rather than sitting back and being a bystander.

— Jess, Finance Manager, Construction

The process and journey have been invaluable, the relationship strong enough that I could acknowledge challenges with the role and the people in my team.  The experience and expertise of my mentor Meredith has been very beneficial to my growth.

Having a mentor really spotlights your strengths and weaknesses, and gives you the direction you need to decide which pathway to take. The one-to-one customised mentoring program has offered me a natural strategy to bring my confidence and experience to a new level. I felt safe talking to Meredith. We have walked through the challenges step by step, designed a plan of attack together, then self-reflection/review sessions to identify the gaps. At the end we celebrate the successes!

— Amanda, Finance Manager, Local Government

I wholly appreciate all of your help and guidance throughout my time in the Emerging Leaders Program. You had a great impact on my progression and development and I thank you for your fantastic mentoring and advice.
