Have you been offered the opportunity to take part in a mentoring scheme, either as a mentor or mentee? What might this involve? How could it benefit you? What exactly is mentoring, anyway? A Greek by the name of Mentor stepped into the shoes of a King for the ten years of the Trojan Wars to develop his son for the responsibilities of the throne. These skills of mentoring have been nurtured over the centuries and are alive and well today in the development of our top leaders. Recent research shows mentoring is the most important source of learning at work after 'on the job' experience, and moreover it's a critical life skill for everyone. This book sets out what mentoring is, and how it's been used by Australia's best leaders in business, education, politics, public and sporting life. The vast majority had great mentors in their own lives, and all have now taken on that role themselves. Author, mentor and mentee, Peter Wilson, has spent over two years meeting and interviewing leading figures from politics and public life. In MAKE MENTORING WORK he shares their wisdom and advice. If you would you like to receive personal and career advice from two of Australia's three longest serving Prime Ministers, state premiers, a Governor General, Police commissioner, one of Australia's leading women CEOs, a world champion Wallaby Captain, the 2000 Australian Olympic team's flag-bearer, CEO of the Commonwealth Bank, Australia's first female Police Commissioner - among others - then step inside this book today. MAKE MENTORING WORK has general application for anyone considering the role of mentor or mentee.

Self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs) have always had the option of purchasing property with cash. Since September 2007, when the Commonwealth Government gave SMSFs the green-light to purchase property and other assets with borrowings, there has been a surge in interest from Australians looking to transfer their super into SMSFs and use their money to invest in property. Super is an excellent vehicle for accumulating wealth and saving for retirement and Australians have had a long-standing love affair with property. By combining the two, many think they have achieved a match made in heaven. However, before considering using your SMSF to invest in property, and in particular borrowing to invest, it is best to have all the facts. In this informative book, superannuation expert, Martin Murden, looks at this investment strategy from all angles: Comparison between direct vs indirect property ownership through your SMSF. 1. Buying with cash or borrowings. 2 .What property your SMSF can and cannot buy. 3. Buying with a partnership or trust. 4. How your investment property will be taxed. 5. What happens when you sell the property. 6. Managing your investment property in retirement
