PMI Queensland | Upcoming Events Calendar

Join us for the 2025 Mentoring Program from April to December, led by Liezel Pieters, the President & Chair of the PMI Queensland Board of Directors. This program is designed for individuals seeking personal and professional growth through mentorship.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MENTORING?

In a 2006 Gartner study of over 1,000 workers over 5 years:

• 25% of employees who enrolled in a mentoring program had a salary-grade change, and only 5% of workers who did not participate in a mentoring program had a change.
• Mentors were promoted 6 times more often than those not in a mentoring program.
• Mentees were promoted 5 times more often than those not in a mentoring program.
• Retention rates were also higher for mentees (72%) and mentors (69%) than employees who did not participate in a mentoring program.
• Our 10 months program is all about guiding & growing your leadership skills either as a mentor or as someone being mentored – the ‘mentee’.

Our Mentoring Program, according to past participants, is the best one out there, at a discounted price and hands-on ... Real humans doing real things! Join us, empower yourself to take the next step in your personal and professional life, and get a buddy for life!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU REGISTER

1. Once you register, we will send you two emails: one with the details to join the Virtual Launch Event, and the second email will be a Matching Form to complete, which will help us with the matching magic after the launch on 1 April from 06:30 PM to 07:30 PM.
2. The program will officially kick off with a Launch event. During this joint mentor/mentee introduction to the program, the structure, workshop dates, methodology used to achieve the best results, and the roles and responsibilities of each participant will be shared. You'll also have a chance to hear from past program participants and ask lots of questions.
3. Post-launch, we will help Mentees clarify their goals during the Goal-setting Workshop, and you'll receive a link to complete your Kolbe A Assessment. This is what sets our program apart from others—we help you identify your superpowers, your innate ways of striving, working towards your goals, and being your most productive self!
4. Armed with your Kolbe Mode of Operation, your unique M.O., we can match you with a mentor who gets you and will not give you a one-size-fits-all advice that only works for 5% of the population. Prepare to be amazed at how this insight will change how you act, react, and interact with others and the impact it will have on your career, relationships, and communication.
5. Once matching has been completed, mentors and mentees will be introduced during the Meet Your Mentor Workshop. We will also share your M.O. (Kolbe A Result) and what that means for your mentoring journey ahead.
6. Additional training, such as Coaching Skills for Mentors & Managers, Productivity, Procrastination and Managing Stress, Teamwork & Collaboration master classes, and networking sessions, will occur throughout the year to share, learn, and evolve as a mentor/mentee, culminating in our Year-end Celebration event at the end of our program in November.

Important

• All mentors and mentees will be fully supported throughout the program.
• Mentors and mentees must meet for a minimum of 1.5 hours per month.
• Key program dates will be shared at the Program Kick-off session.
• No refunds will made once the Kolbe A assessment has been completed post the Launch event.
