How mentoring helped Gaby Sittová catch up with her own success

Gaby Sittová had already directed a feature film and built a career across tech, film, and creative leadership, and still felt like an unsure newcomer in parts of her own life. She joined Femme Palette’s mentoring program looking for help with personal branding. What she found instead was permission to ask for a mentor rematch when the first one wasn’t right, a reminder to actually celebrate what she’d already done, and a mentor who helped her stop treating herself like someone with endless capacity to give.
