Peer mentoring for SECNA members

SECNA invites you to join our virtual, group peer mentoring sessions generously supported by The City of Sydney.

These sessions are designed to bring a SECNA member who is seeking help (the mentee) together with other SECNA members and experts. Through a collaborative environment, the group explore what the mentee needs and offers questions, insights, experiences and guidance for consideration.

When

Tuesday 1:00-2:00pm

Wednesday 10:00-11:00am

How do the sessions work?

  • Group introductions - Each participant briefly introduces themselves and their social enterprise (if applicable)

  • For those who have registered seeking mentoring - SECNA member outlines what they are seeking help with. No presentation material is required for this, and we encourage participants to keep this to 5 minutes to allow for discussion time.

  • Whole group - For the first half an hour, SECNA invites everyone to share open and curious questions to understand the problem/topic. for the second half of the hour, SECNA invites everyone to share their guidance, insights and experience based on what they've heard

  • Wrap-up

Who can participate?

Group mentoring sessions are open to all SECNA members and experts (by invitation).

This may be simply listening in or actively offering guidance throughout the session. There is no limit to how many sessions you attend.

FAQs

  • The sessions aren’t recorded. SECNA used Zoom AI Companion to generate meeting summaries. The meeting summary is checked and sent to registered participants (only) after the session.

  • While we encourage members to participate in group mentoring to benefit from the group's diverse perspectives and experiences, we understand a group setting isn't the most suitable option for everyone.
