I highly recommend the CMC program. Not only did I meet some amazing women who will continue to be a part of my network, but I’ve learnt a lot about myself, my leadership style, leadership styles of others and the way in which I want to operate in my career. Life can be a wild ride, the mentoring program has helped me to retain a level head and given me the courage to speak up in some challenging situations, both personally and at work. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with the knowledge and skills I took away from the program.

“The coaching circle remains one of the most valuable courses I have ever done in my career”

– Assistant Director APS (WITEM)

“I have been a manager and leader for many years but attended the Collaborative Mentoring Circles program to continue my growth and personal development and refresh known strategies. It reiterated and reinvigorated my understanding of leadership and concepts and provided great insights. I’ve often struggled with presenting to large groups, but after this course, I’ve done this 3 times due to the skills and confidence this program provided.”

– Sue Hunter, City of Gold Coast

If you have the opportunity to participate in the CMC, do it! You will learn more about your personal leadership style and how your team views you, and you will also be provided with the resources to understand how to adapt your style to be most effective in a range of situations. You will discuss common workplace issues and workshop a variety of solutions. Guest speakers discuss their own leadership journeys in frank and open conversations. Best of all, you will have a new network of people who will be there for you and who may even become lifelong friends.
