I hope this eNewsletter finds you having completed a successful term and looking forward to the holidays ahead!\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I begin, I’d like to personally congratulate the SA\/NT Chapter Summit Committee for their organisation of an outstanding Summit. There has been so much positive feedback from the event and I am delighted that so many of our SA\/NT Colleagues converged upon Victor Harbor for an inspiring couple of days of peer led professional development. Thank you also to our Speakers and our Sponsors, whose contribution made such a successful event possible.<\/p>\n

    The Value of Mentoring<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I’ve been reflecting on the value of mentoring recently, and wanted to share the following with you, as I really believe it has high impact in establishing connections and inspiring confidence!<\/p>\n

    Whether you\u2019re just starting out or looking to take the next step in your career, having someone to guide, support and challenge you can make all the difference. That\u2019s what mentoring is all about \u2013 and it\u2019s one of the most rewarding aspects of being part of the Educate Plus community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I recently joined the Educate Plus mentoring program, supporting an incredibly dedicated Business Services Manager in the Northern Territory to develop a Fundraising strategy. Although we\u2019ve only met a couple of times over Zoom, our monthly conversations have already covered a lot of ground \u2013 working through challenges, shaping ideas and celebrating progress. While my goal has been to support my Mentee, I\u2019ve been genuinely surprised by how much I\u2019ve gained myself \u2013 fresh perspectives, renewed energy and a deeper appreciation for the value of mentoring and shared learning.\u202f\u202f\u202f <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Mentoring isn\u2019t about having all the answers. It\u2019s about being present, offering perspective and helping someone see what\u2019s possible.<\/span><\/b> It\u2019s also a great chance to reflect on your own journey and give back to the sector in a meaningful way.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019ve ever thought about becoming a mentor or are looking for guidance yourself, I really encourage you to\u202f<\/span>check out the Educate Plus mentoring program<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s free, flexible and really worthwhile. \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
