Turning Internal Expertise into your Greatest Competitive Advantage.
Most organisations spend thousands on leadership courses, only for the lessons to be forgotten within weeks. Others buy mentoring software and hope it will magically create a culture of growth. It doesn't.
True leadership isn't taught in a seminar; it’s passed down through experience.
At Next Level Mentoring, we don't sell software or "hope." We provide the human infrastructure—the structure, the matchmaking, and the accountability—to ensure your senior expertise is captured and shared. We make sure your people want to turn up, do their best work, and build their future within your business.
Our mentoring programs:
+ Reduce Turnover: The average cost of losing one senior leader is $250k, the ripple effect is far greater.
+ Accelerate Careers: Promote your people into leadership roles 2x faster.
+ Are Evidence-Based: Every program is measured, tracked, and refined to your organisation's needs and culture.

Our 5-stage proven framework
All our next level business mentoring programs follow a simple 5 stage iterative process to ensure there is structure to building your program.
The closed loop allows feedback from previous programs to help improve the next programs to your people.
With each iteration, your program matures and embeds mentoring as part of your culture.
1. Plan
Understand your organisation's objectives, structure and culture and design your program accordingly.
2. Establish
Identify the participants of the program, run the proven matchmaking process and provide training upfront to enable the program to start with confidence.
3. Execute
Kick-off your program, facilitate sessions, monitor engagement and provide ongoing coaching as needed.
4. Conclude
Finish your mentoring program with positivity and allow your participants to reflect on the journey.
5. Evaluate
Gather the right feedback, evaluate the results, and refine the program for sustained success.
Every NLM program includes our signature 1-on-1 Goal-Setting Coaching session for every pair to ensure mission alignment from Day 1.

| Feature | Internal Program | NLM Program |
|---|---|---|
| Engagement | Low engagement | High credibility |
| Accountability | No accountability | Structured accountability |
| Admin Burden | High HR admin burden | Turnkey delivery |
"Bringing in outside expertise from NLM helped increase the credibility of the program for the participants – more so than if it was run internally. This played a role in the program's success." — Chris McGrath, Mentoring Program Lead, Woodside
