My mentor skilfully established a clear structure for our mentoring relationship and set specific, actionable tasks to help me achieve my goal of planning a successful career within the Australian academic system.

My mentor’s feedback was consistently constructive, and she encouraged me to think more broadly about how I can make a meaningful impact within the University.

What I particularly appreciated was my mentor’s commitment to ensuring that our interactions were purposeful and intentional, demonstrating her respect for both my time and the mentoring process.

The Envisage process fostered a highly productive relationship, allowing me to not only achieve my short-term academic goals but also establish a clear path for my longer-term aspirations.

Thanks to the framework provided by my mentor, I can continue to build a strategy to guide my career progress, I can highly recommend this mentorship.

I was a point in my academic career where I needed to take the next step in grants and promotions. I was seeking advice on how to strategically create new direction for the next few years. A university restructure was creating significant change. Envisage provided several people to talk to and asked me to choose based upon their relevance to my needs. My mentor provided a clear structure, a good analysis of my current positioning and facilitated my thinking and planning about what was next. Three years later that advice has paid off and I have progressed to the next level of academic performance that I was aiming for.

Thank you again for in facilitating this mentoring for me. It was a wonderful experience. My mentor was an extremely supportive and generous person, and I gained enormously from my sessions with her.

Thank you for the opportunity to reflect on my experience in the Envisage mentoring program.

Working with my mentor was an incredibly valuable experience. Her support played a key role in helping me regain confidence in myself as an academic and navigate complex and often challenging situations in the Australian academic context. She has a warm and grounded presence, and her ability to listen deeply, ask insightful questions, and offer wise yet objective guidance made a real difference in how I approached both personal and professional hurdles. I always felt heard, supported, and respectfully challenged to think in new ways and take meaningful steps forward.

I’ve already started to see the impact of our mentoring sessions in the way I approach academic challenges and opportunities. I feel more confident, focused, and better equipped to advocate for myself and my work.

I’m very grateful for the mentoring experience and would highly recommend it to others. You are welcome to use this feedback publicly as a testimonial if it’s helpful.

Thank you again for arranging this.
