My Mentor Case Studies

To find out how a mentoring relationship might benefit you read one of the case studies below.

• Rhonda Arnott - founder boutique commercial law firm
  "After completing the WOB mentoring program, I secured my first board role on the not for profit organisation Christina Noble Children’s Foundation. This position was advertised on the WOB website."
• Dianne Jacobs - founding principal of The Talent Advisors
  "A good mentoring relationship is when the Mentee takes responsibility for their own development; has realistic aims for what can be achieved; brings real situations, issues and development needs to the agenda; reflects; challenges intelligently; is prepared to be challenged; and will implement actions and discusses progress."
• Fabienne Michaux - Managing Director and Asia-Pacific Chief Credit Officer, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
  "I needed a catalyst to force me to allocate time and space to think about the future and what I wanted to do in a more purposeful way."
• Ann Nelson - Principal, Nelson Advisory and former CEO Bio Innovation SA
  "Just do it! The same excuses you make for not applying for Boards are probably the same ones that you use to talk yourself out of seeking a mentor."
• Kerry Skellern - general manager with experience in major industrial companies
  "The mentoring experience was very positive and thought-provoking giving me ideas and suggestions on new paths to maximize the chance of landing that elusive board role."
