Our Matching Process

  • Since 2008

    We’ve been matching leaders with seasoned Coaches and Mentors for nearly two decades.

  • Lived Expertise

    Our Coaches and Mentors support corporate, Government, and not-for-profit clients across Australia.

  • Currency + Credibility

    Our Coaches and Mentors are current and former Executives, Directors, and Business Owners with significant experience.

  • Confidentiality

    What’s shared behind closed doors, stays behind closed doors.

Coaching or Mentoring?
You might
need both.

At behind closed doors, Coaching and Mentoring aren't separate offerings.
They're two ends of the same relationship, and most of our engagements move fluidly between them depending on the challenges you're facing that week.

Coaching

Goal-focused and performance-driven — closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Delivered by formally trained, often accredited practitioners.

Structured, time-bound and measurable.

Mentoring

Holistic and relationship-driven — guidance and wisdom for your whole career journey.

Delivered by leaders who've walked the path ahead of you.

Open-ended, evolving, and focused on growth over time.

Why It Works

Built around you, not a curriculum.

Personally matched, not randomly assigned.

Every Coach and Mentor is selected against your experience, interests, and professional and personal goals — whether that's stepping up from Senior Associate to Director, or preparing for your first Board seat.

Current, not retired.

behind closed doors’ Coaches and Mentors — male and female — are actively involved in business today. They're living the same pressures, tools, and shifts you are, with a holistic view of where leadership is heading next.

Confidential, always.

Nothing shared in a BCD session leaves the room. That's what makes it possible to bring the real question, not the polished version.

Commercial, not theoretical.

BCD’s programs run on a maximum of commercial reality and a minimum of theory. You'll leave with something to do, not just something to think about.

How It Works

  • We listen.

    A confidential first conversation to understand your goals, your challenges, and what "success" looks like for you.

  • We match you.

    Based on that conversation, we personally pair you with a Coach or Mentor whose experience and style genuinely fit your goals — not the next name on a list.

  • You set the agenda.

    Your first session establishes objectives, mutual expectations, confidentiality, and logistics — so both of you know exactly what you're building together.

  • We keep things moving.

    Regular sessions, agreed actions between them, and a Coach or Mentor who holds you accountable to what you said you'd do.

What to Expect From Your First Session

Objectives and Ambitions
What you want to achieve, in your words.

Mutual Expectations
How you’ll work together and how success will be measured.

Confidentiality
Agreed and honoured, from your first session.

Logistics
Frequency, duration and location, decided upfront.

TIP: Many of our clients book their sessions for the year ahead, to remove the back-and-forth of scheduling.
