Mentorlism is Mentoring For Journalists

Journalism is a calling, a passion and an undeniable, crucial pillar of democracy. Navigating aspirations and professional growth against an ever-changing media landscape can, at times, be challenging and overwhelming. Mentorlism is mentoring for journalists: a professional relationship that will help you blend the art of journalism with personal and professional growth and high-performance leadership.

At Mentorlism, I am dedicated to nurturing the next generation of journalists and media executives as well as developing and enhancing the journalism skills — especially digital — and leadership qualities of already experienced journalists.

Almost 100% of journalists I have mentored at News Corp Australia earned promotions and are now senior leaders within that business: Editors; Digital Editors; General Managers; National Editors; and Head of Audience Editors.

Mentoring is about building strong, supportive and trusting relationships
Creating a positive environment is the key to building high performance teams.

My passion and purpose is to provide the guidance, resources, and support needed to help journalists from all backgrounds — anywhere in the world — to achieve their career goals from the most junior reporter to established editors and senior media executives.

Whether you’re a seasoned industry veteran, just starting out or seeking a greater understanding of digital journalism and audience-led growth, I am here to help you navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with a rewarding career in journalism.
