Learn in Five Mentoring - End of Year Special Offer
We are pleased to launch our new educational product - Learn in Five Mentoring. This is cost effective way to engage both formal and informal mentoring partnerships in your organisation and provide core mentoring education from your organisational intranet or membership website. Learn in Five Mentoring includes six educational videos, each with a comprehensive PDF resource kit. There's no hosting required - you can simply embed the video library directly to your organisational intranet or membership website.
Let's be upfront - the pricing is $1950 plus gst for Year 1, and then 20% there after. No hidden fees - just a straight licencing model which we hope you will agree is price competitive.
To learn more about Learn in Five - download the information sheet.
End of FY offer - for all purchases of the Learn in Five Mentoring product to 30 June 2011, we are also including five exclusive podcasts of our interview with Professor David Clutterbuck, international mentoring expert AND the option to purchase the Talking Mentoring Fact Sheet Library at a reduced rate.

101 Problems that Mentoring Solves - Get Involved
We've been working on 'taking the mentoring out of mentoring'? Huh? What we mean is that for a long time the focus has been on mentoring alone - rather than embedding mentoring as a strong platform for your organisation and therefore, talking about the results of mentoring. So, we've started a list of 101 Problems that Mentoring Solves and we'd love you to get involved.
Here's the list to date: http://www.australianmentorcentre.com.au/101+Problems+Mentoring+Solves
If you'd like to make a contribution to the list, simply email gilly@australianmentorcentre.com.au and when the list is finished, you'll be the on the receiving end of a 'pretty' PDF document with the complete list.
FREE Ask a Mentoring Question - Two Spaces this Month
At the end of 2010, we did a 'test run' of offering a FREE Ask a Mentoring Question service. It's back this month! We'll take two questions (first in) and answer them in detail. We'll then share the results in the coming months via our blog. What's the catch you ask? Nothing - we'll answer your mentoring questions as if you were a client - so that means that your answer will be detailed and designed to really help you out.
To ask your mentoring question - drop Gilly a line to gilly@australianmentorcentre.com.au.
Evaluation and Validation in Mentoring - Recent Blog Post
Do you know the difference between evaluation and validation in respect of a mentoring program? A good mentoring program should have both - read more about this interesting aspect of measuring the results of your mentoring program at this recent blog post: www.australianmentorcentre.com.au/Evaluation-Validation
Daily Mentoring Bytes Twitter - Join In!
Late in 2010, we joined the Twitter revolution. But you won't find our tweets telling you what we had for breakfast! We've designed our Daily Mentoring Bytes Twitter account to provide ideas, resources, links and information for mentees, mentors and partnerships - with the odd bit of advice thrown in for program coordinators. Plus - every 150-200 tweets, we create a downloadable PDF so that you can access the information you may have missed.

Yours in mentoring
