Program Highlights
Enrol online at any time to start your six month journey with Matt. Take half an hour out of your day to complete the initial quiz, and then get personally guided on this exciting path through one-on-one Zoom sessions with Matt, supplemented with formal training in technical skill and leadership development.
Within your first week, you will kick off your program the right way by meeting with Matt via Zoom to get to know each other and to explore and define both yours and his expectations. With his guidance, you will set some goals for the program. The goals will cover both, hard skills and soft skills.
Once your goals are set and Matt understands your specific background and level of experience, he will develop a Learning and Development Plan tailored for you.
This comprehensive plan will offer two-weekly one-on-one coaching sessions, interactive webinars, as well as self-paced online course that could fit in with your busy schedule.
Once per fortnight, Matt will meet with you in the virtual class room to review your progress, clarify any questions and provide specific coaching on areas identified in your 6-Month Learning and Development Plan.
Every session will end with an action plan for the fortnight ahead. This method ensures accountability to maximise outcomes.
These sessions typically take place on evenings or early mornings, outside normal business hours unless agreed otherwise. Saturday morning sessions are available as well.
Make the most of our monthly mentorship gatherings! Take advantage of these interactive Zoom Calls to network with other participants and share stories about how you’ve implemented what you’ve learned. Join in for an enriching exchange that will help expand your knowledge base.
With our online training platform, you’ll have access to an ever-growing library of courses and materials tailored just for you. Matt will work with your Learning and Development Plan in mind as he selects the best resources available, but feel free to explore extra material too!
With 26 years’ construction experience under his belt, there’s nothing that Matt can’t answer or teach when it comes maximising progress on this program.
With every formal training module completed, you will receive a Certificate of Completion for you to keep and show-case in your resume along with a final Certificate upon completion of your 6-Month journey with us.
Accelerate your career
“Mentoring is a relationship which gives people the opportunity to share their professional and personal skills and experiences, and to grow and develop in the process. Typically, it is a one-on-one relationship between a more experienced and a less experienced person. It is based upon encouragement, constructive comments, openness, mutual trust, respect and a willingness to learn and share.” – Spencer C., 1996 Mentoring made easy.
A project management mentorship is worth your time and money because it can help you fast-track your career development.
With a mentor, you can gain a deeper understanding of the discipline and learn invaluable skills that may otherwise take years to acquire. Not only is this great for career advancement, but it also encourages accountability and provides an opportunity for networking and collaboration.
Moreover, a mentor will provide hands-on advice and support to help you reach your professional goals more quickly. In short, a project management mentorship is an essential way to further your career in the field.
WHY IT WORKS
Powerful things happen when a respected experienced person shows interest in and goes out of his / her way to help another individual develop, especially when that individual is open to being influenced.
First, we do most of our learning from observing successful and unsuccessful models. In other words, we watch people’s actions, see what happens to them, and then imitate (or avoid) similar actions ourselves.
Second, we respond well to positive reinforcement from certain people. That is, we learn faster and more effectively when we receive positive feedback from someone we respect.
Third, we learn best not only from positive reinforcement but also from having “mastery experiences.” That means we leap ahead in our learning if we master something difficult.
Mentoring at its best incorporates these three factors. Good mentors allow themselves to be observed, and effective mentees make a point of watching and questioning them.
Finally, mentoring partnerships in which the mentees set difficult yet achievable goals and master difficult challenges not only learn a tremendous amount, but build their self confidence in the process.

- Tailored learning to your needs and goals
