2026 Mentoring Program
Join us for the 2026 Mentoring Program, led by Liezel Pieters, the Immediate Past President of PMI Queensland, 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 enrolled in a mentoring program experienced a salary-grade change, compared with only 5% of workers who did not participate in a mentoring program.
- 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 for employees who did not participate in a mentoring program.
- Our 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!

- After the introduction and registration, we will help Mentees clarify their goals during the Goal Setting workshop.

- During the Discover Your Superpowers workshop, we will share your Kolbe-A result, what that means for your mentoring journey ahead, and, most importantly, how this new level of self-awareness will guide you towards your best, unique approach to problem-solving, communicating, and working with others.
- Additional Wednesday Wisdom deep-dives, focusing on Productivity & Procrastination, Managing Stress and Teamwork & Collaboration, will be held online throughout the year to share, learn and evolve as a mentor/mentee.
- The program will culminate in our Year-End Closing Celebration, where we will share lessons learnt and celebrate successes.
