What happens when you let your guard down with a stranger? TIME with Janis McDonald

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you connect with a mentor who makes you feel like you can conquer the world? Janice McDonald, Sales Account Manager for Queensland, Northern NSW and WA at Air Canada, joins us to share her transformative journey through the TIME mentorship program. From the moment Janis witnessed a colleague's remarkable transformation after completing the TIME program, she knew she wanted that same confidence and growth for herself. When finally matched with mentor Belinda Montgomery, Janis discovered an unexpected connection that allowed her to be vulnerable in ways she hadn't anticipated. "When you do the TIME program, you have to be a little bit vulnerable," she explains. "You've really got to let your guard down and tell a stranger about what you really want." That vulnerability paid off tremendously. Throughout their sessions, Janis developed the confidence to approach her boss for additional responsibilities at Air Canada and learned crucial boundary-setting skills to balance her demanding career with being a mother of three. "The way we were evolving with our sessions, I felt I could conquer the world," she shares, highlighting how the right mentor relationship can fundamentally shift your professional trajectory. Now Janis has come full circle, helping organize TIME events in Queensland to give others the same opportunity for growth. She emphasizes that what makes the TIME program special is its tailored approach—travel professionals mentoring other travel professionals in structured, confidential settings that focus on individual goals. Whether you're considering applying for the TIME program, looking to become a mentor yourself, or simply curious about how mentorship can transform careers, this episode offers honest insights about the power of investing in your professional development. Listen now and discover how the right mentor might help you conquer your world too!
