Why mentorship matters
For Greg, becoming a mentor was an opportunity to give back to the industry that had supported him throughout his career. “The AusIMM Mentoring Program provided a great chance to give back to the industry. I found it deeply fulfilling to help others achieve their goals and see them succeed. Watching professionals flourish in their careers is incredibly rewarding”.
A pathway to clarity and growth
Being a mentee in the program is not just about receiving guidance, but about developing a deeper understanding of your own career goals. “One of the most rewarding parts for me was seeing my mentee develop clear, achievable goals that truly aligned with their personal values,” says John. “They were able to reframe their current situation, reflect on what was important to them, and set a path that balanced both professional and leadership growth.”
Through this process of reflection, mentees can build confidence and direction. John’s mentee found new clarity about their career path and leadership potential. “It was amazing to see them grow more confident in their decision-making, knowing that their goals were in alignment with their values and aspirations.”
Why AusIMM’s Mentoring Program works
AusIMM’s Mentoring Program offers structured support, carefully matched relationships, and valuable resources. “The program facilitates well-matched mentor-mentee relationships, which is key to its success. It offers the right level of support, and the training for both mentors and mentees is invaluable”.

If you’re feeling uncertain about your career trajectory or want to push yourself further, AusIMM’s Mentoring Program offers the tools and connections you need to succeed. “Mentoring gives you the opportunity to learn from someone with experience, while also giving you the space to reflect on your own goals and values. It’s an investment in your future, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see the growth in both the mentor and the mentee”, says Greg.
The AusIMM Mentoring Program provided a great opportunity to give back to the industry and I find immense satisfaction in seeing professionals successfully achieving their goals and flourishing in their work.
