About the facilitator
Dr Lesley Petersen has over twenty-five years’ experience in the training and development field, specifically building her expertise in the areas of mentoring and evaluation research. She completed her PhD in 2011 which investigated the influence of mentoring on academic teaching practice and resulted in the development of an integrated model for mentoring as a mechanism for supporting professional development and enhancing leadership capabilities across an organisation.
Lesley’s passion for mentoring has led her to engage in local and nationally-funded research to continue exploring the impact of mentoring at an individual and organisational level. She uses her expertise to assist organisations with implementing systems to help develop staff to reach their full potential.
