International Women's Day Series - Mentorship and support with Belinda Mawhinney

This is a special International Women’s Day series featuring members of Club OAK which supports and promotes your rural business through print, digital, audio and mentoring opportunities over a 12 month period.

Belinda Mawhinney provides an exceptional service to leaders and business owners who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to take next steps in their work. 

Over the last 12 months, I've had a few deep chats with Belinda about life/work. Her social work background is the business gift that you didn't know you needed. 

Belinda also owns The Collective Grenfell, a contemporary designed, shared work space for professionals in Grenfell, NSW.

In this episode Belinda shares her vision of providing a professional and inspiring environment for women to work and study. She also talks about the value of reaching out to mentors and role models who have provided guidance and inspiration in her business journey. Belinda highlights the need to push oneself and ask for help, even from people outside of your existing network. She shares her experiences in cold pitching and the importance of follow-up in building relationships and opportunities.
