We believe that if you really dedicate yourself to this program, it will make a significant difference to not only your career, but also your life.

 Why not have a sneak preview!

How does it work?

If you haven’t received it already, very shortly you will receive your My Mentor kit. The kit includes 10 CD’s, 2 DVD’s and a workbook. The program encompasses 10 Modules:
1.   Decide that the time is NOW!
2.   Do you know who you are? Your own personal brand
3.   Taking calculated risks. Shift the mindset
4.   Building My Career Plan and My Strategy
5.   Increasing your visibility and your network
6.   Playing and communicating to win
7.   Becoming a Master Influencer
8.   Negotiating to Win – Win
9.   Striking the Balance – creating work life balance in your life
10. Go for the Knock Out

A Module consists of:

An individual CD – this is for you to listen to. It may be played on a computer, a CD player (including a car CD player) or it may be downloaded to an iPod or MP3 Player (insert it into the computer and save content in iTunes or similar player, then upload to your iPod or MP3 Player)

A section on the DVD’s. There is a DVD menu and you can click on the particular Module that you are undertaking. This is for you to watch. It is best if you watch each Module as you complete the CD and Workbook components to make sure you get the most benefit. This works on a computer or a normal DVD player.

A section of the workbook – where the parts which are pertinent to each Module are clearly indicated. This is for you to read and complete the exercises. The exercises are also referenced as you listen to the CD so that you know when to do each one. The CD will also give you some tips and guidance for completion of the exercises.

We suggest you start with Module 1 and end with Module 10. However, the order in which you complete the other modules are completed is up to you. Some modules may be not be as relevant to you right now as others. We suggest that you try them all anyway – although you may do some modules in more depth than others. Remember, this pack is yours to keep, so we would encourage you to go back and listen, watch and read the Modules again later as the issues arise in your day to day work.

Timing

We would like you to complete this program over 10 weeks (one module a week). This is your program – so you may complete it faster if you would like (we know you are a high achiever!)

So how do I start?

It’s easy! Just pull out the first CD and start to play it – it will give you some more guidance on how the program works.

Feedback

Throughout the program we will send you some links to some surveys we would like you to complete. Your feedback is really valuable and will help us make sure the program is exactly what you need. We appreciate your support in advance in completing these surveys!
