What Mentorees say about the Program

"I would definitely recommend new businesswomen to do the course. It's a wealth of information, a centre for support and it can even help you save thousands of dollars when decision making."

Diane Costa, Marketing Mechanics

 "I would recommend the Women in Business Mentor Program to any small business operator who wants to build and develop their business, wants a confidence booster and wants to develop a powerful network of supportive, likeminded business people".
