What would you look for in a professional and personal mentor? Someone perhaps who:

• Has a consistent record of high achievement across an exceptionally broad field of public life?
• Is professionally and personally familiar with the pressures of a demanding professional career?
• Knows what it's like to take both praise and criticism - and in the public arena - and not just survive but thrive?
• Has the experience of and ability to empathize with and deal with individuals from all works of life, religions, philosophies, national backgrounds, ethnicities, genders and abilities and at all levels?
• Is genuinely and demonstrably interested in people and in bringing out their best?
• Has spoken to, and on behalf of, millions of Australians from coast to coast winning an enduring popular and opinion-maker following, media awards for his skills, intellectual rigor and integrity, as well as rating successes with considerable and loyal audiences over many years?
• Has been through good times and bad and developed resilience and a deepening of personality as a consequence?
• Has experienced good health and bad and lived to recover, rebuild his health and reinvent his personal and professional life?
• Has tasted great success in a particular field then moved on to try something quite different and succeeded, overcoming difficulties again and again?
• Has experienced in his various roles all aspects of Australia and Australians on a personal and professional level?
• Has not just accomplishment, but personal and professional regard of an extremely high order, across the many professional fields in which he has worked?

'The results (of Kevin's attentions) have been extraordinary and we now have staff practicing their favorite meditation methods daily and who are feeling the benefit, not only at our workplace but also in their life as a whole. His very unique style, ability and skills, which to a large extent reflect his personal experience and history, gave us all something very real to take away with us. I would certainly recommend working with him as it will be richly rewarding for all concerned.' John Owen, General Manager, Willoughby City Council.
