Kerry Osborne
Managing Partner & Lead Mentor | The Leaders Mentor
FAICD, NZCE (Civil), MB (Chicago)
“The role of Mentor is an intimate and unique relationship with an individual. It can change lives for Mentees in ways not imagined. My inspiration to be a Mentor comes from years as a CEO and now business owner. I mentor to impart positive guidance and advice supporting Mentees to realise the results they desire. Mentoring is a journey of discovery for both. As your navigator I am aware of the geography and the obstacles you face ahead. I guide and support you through this a less familiar road and get you to your destination with confidence and success.”
