‘Become’ is our brand new peer-peer mentoring programme that celebrates, mentors & empowers you to become the best version of yourself in all areas of your life & career through regular brainstorming, networking, problem solving, encouraging, motivating each other & holding each other accountable to taking action to achieve our goals. We are excited to present this one of its kind programme to you.

All of the most successful people in history have had mentors or groups of people who could help them get clarity, think through ideas, motivate and inspire them to move forward with confidence. By getting the perspective, knowledge, experiences and resources of others, not only can you greatly expand your own limited view of the world, but you can also advance your own goals and projects more quickly. We all know that two heads are better than one when it comes to solving a problem or creating a result.

Did you know that DM Career Conversations was founded after a peer-peer mentoring event? Our business idea had been stuck in limbo land for well over a year and was going nowhere. The website was ready, the idea was baked but the execution was on a permanent pause. What gave us the confidence & belief to go for it? A lovely lady named Claire who Deirdre was paired with. Thank you Claire. Talking things out can be powerful. Talking things out can challenge us. Talking things out can help us get a reality check. Talking things out can help us see our strengths & recognise how much we have been underselling ourselves. Talking things out can help us get crystal clear on what it is we actually want (and or need) in our life. Talking things out can motivate us greatly to take action.

While life & career progression is a fundamental objective of this programme, we are also here to build a community & friendships. Research we conducted recently suggests that a whopping 73% of people find it difficult to forge new friendships once our education is complete. So let’s grow (& glow) together!

*Numbers will be capped.

How it will work

Duration: 10 week programme - Starting 22nd August 2022

Who’s it for? All adults welcome!

How to enrol?: Enrolment will open Monday 13th June & close Friday 17th August at 5pm. See Enrolment form at the bottom of this page & sign up fee. Once the window closes to enrol, no more members will be added to this cohort.

What is peer-peer mentoring?: Research has long found and noted the benefits of mentoring. With peer-to-peer mentoring there is no one mentor and mentee. Each person is both the mentor and mentee. You will learn from and support one another like a partnership. All pairings will be carefully selected. In these sessions you will reflect and discuss the topics, get clear on where you are and how you would like to progress or what you would like to improve and make a plan of action to execute small steps in the right direction. Your peer will act as your sound board as well as your accountability buddy.

In person meet-up: Our final session will be in person (all going to plan) to meet up, share our story, share our learnings & ideas, meet new & like minded people and have some fun.

Structured sessions each week: One area of your life has an impact on the rest of your life and that is why we feel it is essential to take an holistic approach to this programme. Each member will be given a workbook to guide you through the sessions. The workbook will contain key questions, exercises, action plan and execution templates.

What key areas will we focus on:

• Career/ Your Own Business

• Family & Home Life

• Fun & Leisure

• Health & Stress Management

• Mid-way Community Check-in

• Time management/ work-life balance & contribution

• Relationships

• Confidence/Mindset/strengths

Part of a private community: You will be part of a private whatsapp group with the other ladies/gents of the community. We want this to provide an opportunity to build friendships, share experiences, share progress as well as knowledge/ideas and have fun.
