My Mentor
My Mentor is an extension of WOB's professional development program. Subscribers can access experienced men and women to guide and support them to develop a more structured approach to their professional career and board roles.
Women on Boards offers three mentoring services:
- My Mentor I: Director ready now
- My Mentor II: Boards on my horizon
- My Mentor III: Career development
About the mentors
There are 20 mentors available from the five major states. They are all well known to and/or members of Women on Boards. Each mentor has expressed a desire to take on mentoring work to share their knowledge and expertise to assist other women realise their potential in leadership and directorship roles.
Program delivery
The program can be offered face-to-face (with mentee to undertake any travel required), by telephone (call costs borne by mentee) or other form of telecommunications (e.g. Skype). We also suggest mentors and mentees use an instant messaging service for online chats - such as Windows Messenger - rather than email.
What will be provided?
Each mentee will receive:
- An introductory session (usually by telephone) with the mentor manager (an experienced director and mentor) to discuss goals for the program, your draft mentor agreement and find you an appropriate mentor.
- Three or five one-hour face to face or phone sessions with your assigned mentor (depending on program chosen).
- Option to move to a different mentor for the remaining sessions if a 'fit' is not realised at first session.
- Opportunity to track progress online and provide feedback
- Follow up correspondence by email after each session
