BRISBANE MENTORING
FRESH AIR & MENTORING
Walk and talk with exceptional female leaders in Brisbane who are there to help you find the answers to your career questions. Women at any stage of their career are welcome, and there is no question too big or too small.
Location: Entrance to Brisbane CBD Botanical Gardens (Albert St)
Cost: $45 (heavily subsidised from $230)
What am I in for?
The concept is simple: you and up to two other aspiring mentees spend an hour walking and talking with an exceptional female mentor. It’s a safe and supportive space to get clear on your career progression, discuss work worries, share experiences and build relationships.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your career and need change, are striving for leadership and want help building confidence and learning new strategies to rise up, or are simply keen to meaningfully connect with a network of fantastic women, you’ll leave Mentor Walks feeling refreshed and ready to step forward.
How does it work?
The Mentor Walks magic lies in our ability to hand-match you with the mentor best suited to support you and the mentees you have the most in common with. When you book, we’ll ask you a little bit about your professional background and what you’d like to discuss. There’s no question too big, too small or too vague, and it’s okay if you don’t have a specific issue at all! The purpose of Mentor Walks is to help you get clarity and step forward.
What are the finer details?
The walk starts at 7:10am and finishes at 8:30am. Each spot costs $230, we offer this at a heavily subsidised $45.

Why Mentor Walks Works
Mentor Walks in Brisbane brings together women from different industries and career stages in a simple, intentional format.
Walking side by side in a small group lowers formality
and creates space for more open, focused career conversations.
Local community and connection matter, and regular walks help women build meaningful relationships that extend beyond a single conversation.

The Conversations Women Bring —
and What They Take Away
Women come to Mentor Walks with real questions about their careers. Here are just a few of the conversations that have taken place in Brisbane, and what women have taken away from them.
"I'm transitioning out of my organisation and would like to begin my own business. I'm taking steps towards this but would love to speak to a mentor who has done somthing similar."
"Took the advice to aim for 4-5 coffees a week with potential contacts and apply to be on the government procurement list."
⎯ Emma. Brisbane mentee
"With 15 years of HR experience on a global scale in the technology area, I would like to talk to my mentor about how I can progress my career here in Brisbane with a limited network, minimal technology companies, and declining remote roles available."
"I had a lovely morning! My key takeaway was write a JD for the role I actually want. Reflect on what I am actually passionate about. Find the growth in negative situations."
⎯ Chiara, Brisbane mentee
"I'm a Leadership and Performance Coach, and I'd love to talk to a mentor about how I network and find new leads and more about business development."
"I got practical advice to create and hone my keynote speech and start offering to speak at events as a way to build networks, show credibility, and drum up my business more."
⎯ Jessica, Brisbane mentee
"I’m stuck in a role where I work with my husband in an all-male team and where I am unseen by some of my colleagues and by industry. How do I become my own person with ambition to go places?"
"I learned tactics and a new perspective on how to approach my circle and make an influence."
⎯ Cathy, Brisbane mentee
