Most golfers only dream about it but Sequamur Society member Graham White (OB 1949) has done it! Earlier this year Graham ‘shot his age’ by scoring 79 off the stick at Royal Sydney Golf Club!
Make mentoring work Successful mentoring in business is much more complex than just catching up for a chat over a cup of coffee. Old Boy Peter Wilson (OB 69), national president of the Australian Human Resources Institute, company director and former chief executive has just published a new book Making Mentoring Work which was reviewed in the Financial Review’s October edition of the Boss Magazine. The book offers valuable insights from Peter’s own involvement in leading edge pilot mentoring schemes and is also about clarifying what mentoring is and why it has shifted from an informal process, when somebody happened to take an interest in you at work, to a highly structured and often expensive format often involving external executives or directors.
Graham, former General Manager of ABC Television and member of the BGS Hall of Fame, has played pennant and master pennant golf for over 50 years. Graham belongs to the Avondale Club in Sydney and is a member of the world’s No1 golf course ‘Pine Valley Golf Club’ in the USA. For the past 25 years Graham has attended the British Open in an official capacity. Graham and wife Judy, are both members of the Sequamur Society.
