Boosted my confidence.
I never had a mentor in my life and Iva is my very first mentor. She helped me alot in many things that were happening at my job and my private life. She taught me how great to have someone who will be listening me and giving me tips on how to make things better. I feel more confident now and I will never forget this experience. I wish I could help people out like Iva in the future.

Always had something to solve.

I can only recommend mentoring with Alex. Even though we both have pretty demanding work calendars, we always managed to find a common path and I didn't feel like I had to, on the contrary, we always came up with something interesting to solve during our calls and many times even an hour-long "lesson" wasn't enough.

More comfortable at work & in life.
I entered this programm not really knowing what to expect, but I must admit, that it came at the right time in my life. It made me think in a new way about situations, that I had been strugling with and after reframing them I have moved on and now I feel so much more comfortable not only at my leadership role but also in my life. I was very lucky to have Sabine as my mentor.

It was transformational.
My coaching sessions were transformational. Miša was very thoughtful and empathic. I felt a very deep connection and that she understood my problems and concerns. She guided me to face my fears and find my inner strength. Through different exercises during our sessions, I could visualize my future, come to terms with my past, and unlock my power within. This helped me show up differently in my personal and professional life. I felt that I let go of doubts and regrets, and became more present and confident. Throughout our sessions, Miša posed thought-provoking questions that helped me see different paths I can take to achieve my dreams. I feel empowered and at peace. The learnings of these sessions will stay with me for life.

Prepared for challenges.

I didn't know much about mentoring before and I had no idea what we were going to do in the sessions and how we were going to achieve our goals. But my mentor was very experienced and through a combination of conversations and exercises I gradually started to improve. I felt better prepared for challenging situations at work, but also in my personal life. In addition, I was able to take inspiration from my mentor's experience and use it in my own work, which is what I appreciate most now.

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.

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.

A trustworthy guide.

Thanks to the mentoring program at Femme Palette, I have not only met the professional goals I had set at the beginning of the program, but also gained a trustworthy guide on my journey. My mentor Olga has made every session challenging, enriching, inspiring and fun by sharing her expertise, insights and experience. I would truly recommend the program to anyone who is looking for self-development and/or career boost.

I grew into my new role much faster.

I recently transferred from academic research to UX research and I was the first and only UX researcher at my company. Louise helped me develop both my soft skills and hard skills and provided emotional support, feedback and very helpful tips. It has helped me grow  into my new role much faster and gain confidence as an ambassador of research in my company. I wish I had access to mentoring like before, it's a complete game changer and almost feels like an unfair advantage. Mentoring for everyone!

Best experience we could have.

Our whole team had the possibility to participate in Femme Palette mentoring program and it was one of the best experiences we can have. The organization is great, everything worked perfectly and I really appreciate it's only up to you and your mentor on what you would like to focus on. It's really valuable to have somebody who can help you with all aspects of your work and personality. You can develop your hard knowledge/soft skills but you can also discuss interesting topics/your struggles and it helps you to see things from a different perspective and thanks to that in a bigger picture.

I moved at least two year forward.

I had never experienced mentoring as such before. That is if I don't consider support from more senior colleagues in different positions as mentoring. Connecting with my mentor outside of my parent organization brought me ideas from a different perspective. The perspective and opinions have helped me in grounding myself and anchoring my needs. Through mentoring, I have moved forward at least two years and the reason for this is that I have gained more confidence and started doing things instead of just having them in my head or on paper. It helped me to put things into practice better.

Mind-opening.

I enjoyed mentoring program from Femme Palette. Matching with my mentor was perfect, and the whole organization was on point, including the preparation or collecting feedback throughout the program. The best way is that mentoring will help instantly to implement some things, or it will make you think differently; in some ways, it's mind-opening. Always beneficial to share ideas with more experienced people. Thank you. :)

Vision clarified and goals achieved.

Taking part of the mentorship program at Femme Palette helped me in so many ways. Before I didn’t have a clear vision of how I want to achieve my goals and I felt almost paralysed with fear of the future.  Everything changed when I met my mentor Veronika. I presented her with my smart goal and ever since she tried her best to provide me with materials to study, explained complex concepts of programming and reviewed the code I wrote. She is such an amazing person and I couldn’t get a better mentor. <3
