What our Mentee's say
“I would highly recommend this program, but the key is – the more you put in, the more you will get out of it. The mentors are generous with their time and are knowledgeable about their areas of expertise, they will go the extra mile and put themselves in your shoes. The mentee cohort will also add great value to your journey.”

Is it value for money?
Typically a 3 month mentoring program with the calibre of Mentors we’ve gathered can cost between $2000-$5000. Since we want to make professional development opportunities available to anyone, we have significantly reduced the price of the program just to cover the cost of running it, so you will effectively be roughly paying $500 less than the normal price. Over the years, the Mentoring Program, participants have reported an average 75% improvement in their skills and provided our program with an average rating of 4.75/5 Net Promoter Score (NPS). ​ If, after two sessions of the program, we are reasonably able to conclude that you have not received value from this program, we will provide you your money back.​
