Private Social Media Mentoring in my classroom

Are you interested in private one-on-one social media training (or two, bring a colleague/friend)? Is there a specific issue or project that needs bespoke help to do with Facebook, Instagram, Social Ads, LinkedIn, scheduling, Social Media Strategy, Campaigns, hashtags, pixel retargeting, algorithms, and so on that you would like to sit down with someone for two days and just, get the job done? Can you put up with my goofy jokes?

Rationale for undertaking social media mentoring

Option for larger groups: Offsite Tutoring for Departments and Teams

We predominantly undertake the private mentoring in my small training room on my property. if you have a larger team ie greater than 4 or 5 people, we can run an offsite at the venue of your choice. For example there is the Fairmont at Leura or Hydro Majestic at Medlow Bath and there are also small training rooms around the Blue Mountains. Please enquire for offsite social media training for larger groups. You can email us pa@laurelpapworth.com or cal me on 0432684992.

Social Media Mentoring Workshop Aims

This workshop aims to equip you with the social media strategy, case studies, and tactical activities to take your social media to the next level

Social Media Mentoring Learning Outcomes

As clients have a wide range of questions and issues – Government focus on messaging and education, small business on leads and sales for example, you can choose your topics!

Upon successful completion of this course you will have gained the understanding and tools to make changes to your social media activities to better reach your business, personal and/or professional goals.

Social Media Mentoring Audience & Workshop Prerequisites

Private training in my Blue Mountains training room is suitable for those wanting to take their social media to the next level. You may be a small business wanting to grow your clientele on socials like Instagram. Or you may be a B2B service looking to target niche audiences on LinkedIn. Alternatively, a graduate looking for work in social media, a return-to-work employee wanting to upgrade skills or a Marketing Director looking for external mentoring on specific team/organisation issues. I’ve also mentored Government departments on specific campaigns in my little training room as well as non profits looking to expand globally. You can see my client list and my testimonials.

The majority of people who come through my mentoring program have already had training with me – via Zoom, at a conference workshop or through my University of Sydney courses. If you have not, please be aware that I cater primarily for intermediate and advanced social media managers and executives, and that you may prefer to do a cost-effective public course before deep diving into bespoke training. However it is up to you – I have certainly mentored absolute beginners who have never used Instagram or TikTok before, let alone created business content for those platforms! Contact me if you have any questions. Contact

Prerequisites for social media mentoring

Please undertake the (online) Social Media Audit course and bring those results to the program. You can also fill in the “prioritise your modules” form and submit that before attending so I can set the agenda. Do NOT forget to bring your Lastpass/OnePass password and/or your social media logins. Do not assume you can log in when away from your office so make sure you can at least log into your email on your mobile phone for “forgot password” emails!

Bring with you to your social media mentoring

Please bring your own laptop. An iPad will only get you so far – definitely make sure you have a laptop too, for those social functions that are not mobile device accessible. Don’t forget your power supply! I also recommend you bring a charger for your phone.

TRAVEL & FOOD

TRAIN: If you take the train from Sydney, The Victoria and Albert is a stones throw from the Mount Victoria station and I am a 10 min walk away but happy to pick you up in the car esp if it’s raining/snowing!!! Which reminds me, bring warm clothes.

NOTE: Lunch is included on the days of your session but there is no restaurant in Mount Victoria (the Caltex did have a cafe/restaurant with veggie burgers but during Covid it has been put on a limited seating/menu) – so you may want to bring dinner with you if staying at Victoria and Albert Guesthouse with no car. V&A have a microwave. A couple of restaurants starting offering delivery during lockdown but sadly that was NOT available outside of lockdown.

CAR: If you do have a car, there are nice restaurants in Blackheath and the rest of the mountains. They do shut EARLY and may only be open Thursdays to Sunday. It’s the Mountains!

Paying for Your Mentoring Workshops

Acts of Weather: If you are intending to come up to the mountains for two days, please be aware that traffic can be hours delayed and that the Great Western Highway can be shut for the day due to snow or fog or rain. I will attempt to reschedule if that happens, but it’s best if you come up the night before and stay. Refunds are available until a week before, otherwise reschedule only. You can reschedule 1 full working day before commencement with no penalty. Please don’t be a no-show, it makes me feel unloved 🙁
GST is included for Australian businesses and the invoice/receipt you receive is ATO compliant. If you however need a proposal to give to the Central Finance Office, or you want to pay by Direct bank deposit (required 5 days before the first session), please contact me. We can invoice you so you can pay directly to a BSB and Account Number. If you choose the payment below to lock in your date immediately, you will pay by Paypal or Credit Card (actually Stripe, but you just put in your credit card details). If you are booking for a 2 day session far into the future, please contact me to set up a payment schedule if you would prefer to pay monthly. See Terms and Conditions for more information.
