Why Mentor Walks Works

Mentor Walks in Canberra 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.

Intergenerational insight adds depth and perspective, helping participants build the capability to navigate decisions, transitions and what’s next in their careers.

The Conversations Women Bring —
and What They Take Away

Here are some of the questions women in Canberra brought to their mentor conversations.

"Navigating cybersecurity as a mid-career professional who has transitioned into this industry and how can I further leverage my current skill set?

I walked away with practical advice on potential future roles in AI. Also received the assurance that people skills are very transferable."

⎯ Jenna, Canberra mentee

"I'm keen to hear thoughts about setting up an Advisory Board for the company and/or about growing the business to not need me as much as it does right now.

I am a business owner, and this was my second walk. Both times it was centering and stabilising advice that helped me feel more confident."

⎯ Mariah, Canberra mentee

"I just need a soundboard to talk through the things I have planned for my business.

I clarified things in my head that I have been thinking about for a long time. I asked specific questions that helped me understand where I want to go next."

⎯ Tara, Canberra mentee
