2019 Mentoring Program
With a focus on well-being and accomplishment the 2019 WiS Mentoring Program offers more specialist support and resources to help participants ‘Go Past S.M.A.R.T’ – and achieve their best.
Traditional goal setting meets self-care and accomplishment in the new and improved WiS Mentoring Program.
The 2019 program will support both mentors and mentees by identifying specific areas of specialty elected by the participant. Not only will you be paired with an expert in your elected area of growth, but we will also create support pods of two pairs, providing additional collaboration opportunities for mentors and their mentees.
The areas of expertise are:
1. Leadership
2. Business management
3. Innovation
4. Strata Management
5. Confidence & self belief
6. Communication

The 2019 WiS mentoring program has been designed with the assistance of professional leadership and personal development experts to maximise the opportunity for success.
The program will assist mentees to not only set but achieve goals as they relate to their chosen topic of improvement, resulting in tangible outcomes such as career progression and increased confidence.
By matching expert mentors, with motivated mentees, based on specific development topics the program will assist each team to reach goal realisation through focused and targeted coaching. The relationship between mentor and mentee will be mutually beneficial, not only in extending networks but in providing opportunities for self-driven growth.
The program will support mentors to be confident in their role, providing specific training and resources. Ensuring the program is as beneficial to mentor and it is to mentee.
The overarching objective of the WiS mentoring program is to instill in women in the sector the confidence, skills and knowledge to succeed and reach their full potential, on their own terms.
