I gained courage.
My first coaching experience was great. Femme Palette has been very helpful and genuine with our interactions, they definitely care and prioritize you as a customer. My coach Lusine was absolutely wonderful, even after 1 session I finally had the courage to let go of some things I didn't know I was ready to let go off, and to realize how far I have come to start my 9 months trip and my startup!

I saw things I hadn't noticed.

It was my first professional coaching experience and Misa had a great approach - she guided me through the subjects we discussed which I initially didn't even notice impacting my career. She equipped me not only with understanding of where some of the issues come from, but also with tools to address them and overcome own limitations. I will be happy to work with Misa again in the future whenever I will need help in my professional growth.

I was able to come up with solutions.
Working with Katia as my coach was invaluable. During our sessions, I was really impressed by how Katia's questions helped me find my own answers. It was amazing to see how I could come up with solutions and ideas by myself, with her guidance. Her attention to detail and ability to understand unspoken thoughts were remarkable. After each session with Katia, it felt like she had started a process in my mind that kept going. Her coaching has had a significant impact on my personal development, and I am grateful for the positive changes that have resulted from our time together.

A profound impact.
From the very first session, Coach Jana made a profound impact on my journey. She listened intently to the chaos of my ambitions and skillfully helped me navigate through the overwhelming clutter to a place of clarity and focus. With her guidance, we established a structured approach to my tasks, laying out a foundation that transformed my approach to goal setting. Jana's ability to direct me towards asking the right questions of myself, coupled with her knack for prioritizing, was pivotal. Her insights were not only enlightening but also deeply actionable, ensuring that every goal we set was both measurable and achievable.

This has been a truly transformative experience! The initial goal was to plan an exit strategy from the job and strategically choose a slight career change. By the end of the mentorship, I secured a new job on the terms I desired, even having negotiated better compensation. My mentor, Zdeňka, has been compassionate, perfectly informed, and she adapted the mentoring to both my needs and personality.

Impact not only on work life.

Discussing things that seem obvious and easy to solve with someone in the industry who you sit down with and who knows the context of what you're doing is something that I find incredibly fun and moving. There is power in the detail. And the fact that you can take the time to look at yourself through a different perspective is not only priceless, but it has a real impact on your life. Not just your work life.

With the right mentor, you win.

"The world is as blue as an orange", That's really how I perceive the world around me... A blue orange is unique... A uniqueness that you have to create yourself. And so is every woman... unique, one of a kind, one who should show everyone around her who she is, what she is, what her soul feels. Not to succumb to the pressure of the environment, norms and rules. But sometimes you need someone to listen to you, to ask the right questions, to open the door to other possibilities... And if your paths cross with the right mentor you have won.

6 months of an intensive thinking about my career, while having someone to support and challenge me. That's how I would describe my mentoring experience.

The program provided me with invaluable insights and tools to develop my leadership skills, but what truly made the experience exceptional was my mentor. Yana's guidance, support, and expertise helped me to grow more than i ever imagined. I highly recommend the program to anyone looking to take their leadership to the next level.

I pushed myself, my limits, my expectations over the top and I reached for the stars. If you are thinking to join, do it! Money well spent!

It made me realize that we are all dealing with essentially the same thing and looking for the right way to move our team and company forward. I will and already do apply some of the insights in my private life. And my kids approve :).

I am very happy that I was able to join the mentoring program. It's great to have a person with whom you can discuss different situations in the work environment and who doesn't judge you, but listens to you and gives you their point of view on the situations. My mentor Dalila was exactly that person. Every meeting with her enriched me by sharing experiences or a different point of view. At the same time, I was very inspired by her life energy and attitude.

I improved in several areas.

I really love the program, before I joined, I was lost due my fast transition from pure development role towards more technical focused leadership role. I was connected with really amazing mentor Alaia and she helped me to work on several key areas where I definitivelly improved during the program. Example of key areas we focused on: stress management, handling difficult situations in team, accepting own mistakes, working on creating collaborative environment. At the beginning I was afraid, but programm is really inclusive and I would recommend it to everybody any time.

Me and my mentor clicked together.

It's important to click with your mentor. If you do (and I was lucky enough to) it can be an interesting developmental experience. I learned a lot about myself in a very non-violent way, and started to look at things a little more from a distance, in context. I believe that I understand my role and the roles of my colleagues better and this experience will be a daily help in my work.
