Finding a Mentor (pt. 1): Cathy McGowan

Most successful people will tell you that finding a mentor, or really multiple mentors throughout your life, is the 'secret sauce' to their achievements. So how do you actually find one?Cathy McGowan says you find mentors and build community through turning up, speaking up and then stepping up into leadership positions. This philosophy is what got her all the way to Parliament House in 2013, when she won the Federal seat of Indi, in North East Victoria. This moment has gone down in history, with Cathy breaking the 74 year Liberal/National hold on the seat, making her the electorate's first independent. Now that Cathy has left politics, she's on a mission to encourage other women, particularly in rural areas to challenge themselves, build effective communities and put themselves out there.For more information visit our website.
