"Great program! My mentor match was perfect.. absolutely helpful and essential in guiding me and giving me support, practical advice and encouragement. The workshops were also practical and interesting."
Daniela McFarren
EU Public Affairs Manager
at DIAGEO
"It was invaluable for me to be able to talk with my mentor Kate Funk about things regarding the team or the different situations I was facing throughout the six months. I was also inspired by the drive other women in the program had to learn and grow and to see that the things we are dealing with are often similar no matter our background and that we can learn a lot from each other. Since my mentor lives in Florida, we had our sessions online, but we really clicked from the very first one. I learned the importance of having to lead myself first before I can be of any use to anybody else. We went through our Gallup test results which helped me understand my strengths much more and I also got many great tips for hiring as it’s something I’m also responsible for in my team."
Lenka Drbalova
Content & Sustainability Manager at GLAMI
"Femme Palette was a very inspiring and interesting project for me. Thanks to the program, I had the opportunity to meet many interesting women, share and develop my experience in the field of leadership and inspire each other. I appreciate not only the interesting Workshops, but also the tailor-made mentoring, which gave me the opportunity to solve current problems, but also the long-term strategy and direction of the team. Simply perfect!"

Katerina Grebenova

"The Leadership Program of Femme Palette has been a true blessing in my life. I have discovered a power within me that I didn't know about thanks to all their workshops and mentoring sessions, became more confident and have a clear vision of what to do to keep making progress in my life - as a professional and as an individual. I would recommend it a thousand times to everyone!"
