Testimonials from Mentors

Beaumont People have been providing a range of mentoring programs for the last 6 years.

Below is some feedback from previous mentors who participated in our programs.

Maxine Bartlett

Senior HR Manager, Reach Out

So many resources and opportunities came our way, to learn ourselves, and to form mentor support groups. We are all really busy, but I have to say, the hour each month [to meet with my mentee] has been a very positive hour, and has given me an amazing opportunity to support someone and the unexpected pleasure to reflect on my own career.

Nicola Norris

Director of Fundraising, The Shepherd Centre

I have really enjoyed spending time with my mentee and I've learnt so much from them. They show you the impact of your leadership from a different perspective. You really do learn a lot from the mentees. It’s a great program, very well organised and very well supported. The materials and the various sessions we’ve had as a group of mentees and mentors have been absolutely wonderful.

Sandeep Gupta

CFO, Silent World Shipping and Logistics

I enjoyed every minute of [this program]. The opportunity that we get to learn while we are helping somebody is wonderful. The best experience for me has been Beaumont People themselves; the support they give, and the team that they have. If you are on the fence whether you should join or not, I would recommend you go for it either as a mentor or a mentee.

Sharon Dunn

Director of People and Culture, Infrastructure NSW

What I found really valuable was the support network around both mentors and mentees, where we could tap into regular catch-ups and just discuss challenges, issues or hear from others about what they were facing with their mentee relationship. It was really good to see [my mentee] develop and grow through the help of this program.

Who do I contact for more information?

If you’re interested in finding out more about the program, please contact Nicole Glasgow, Program Manager (02) 9279 2777 or at nicole@beaumontpeople.com.au

Why do you need me to provide so much information on my registration form?

The information you provide will help us ‘match’ the right mentee with the right mentor, based on experience, skills and what you both want to achieve from the LEAD Mentoring and Professional Development Program.

When will I know who I’ve been matched with?

Matching will take place over the following weeks. You will be able to view your matched partner’s details on the Art of Mentoring online platform and initiate contact.

It is important to note we won’t ‘match for matching sake’ if a suitable match is not available, however in all our past programs, every mentee has been matched with their perfect mentor.

What happens next?

Mentees will be asked to complete their strengths profile assessment and 1-hour strengths debriefing session, which will be scheduled at a convenient time for all stakeholders.

You will also be asked to complete a one-hour Art of Mentoring online training session. The training will help provide you with the knowledge and skills to have a successful mentoring relationship.

It will be up to each mentee/mentor pair to establish their own timetables for their one-on-one meetings, which would take place ideally monthly.

What if you are unable to match me with a mentor?

We will endeavour to match all mentees who join our program, provided that we have a suitable mentor and you meet the necessary criteria. Some mentors may not be matched if their expertise/experience is not suitable for any mentees. If we don’t have a suitable match for a mentee (which has never happened before in past programs) you will be entitled to a full refund.

Will discussions between mentees and mentors be confidential?

Absolutely! Great mentee/mentor relationships are based first and foremost on trust. Your participation in the program is confidential and you will agree with your mentoring partner how you will handle confidentiality between you.

You will be asked to sign a code of conduct that confirms your commitment to maintaining strict confidentiality of all matters discussed and material shared with your mentoring partner.
