How our remote Mentoring programme for women works

At Femme Palette, we believe that the best way to grow is through partnering with people who, like our mentors, were once in the same situation. Let mentors use their years of experience to guide you through your career or personal development journey.

What will your mentor help you with?

Your mentor will help you “see around corners” in your career so you know what it takes to progress. Your mentor will be your guide and sounding board for ideas, helping you reflect on your goals and decide on the best course of action.

Your mentor will help you identify the expertise you need to succeed, including building confidence, improving your presentation and communication skills. You will also get advice on additional resources you can leverage, including books, articles, and events.

Working regularly with a mentor ensures that you maintain focus on your career growth and have consistent conversations about how you can improve. Long-term career growth is often about improving a little bit every day, rather than in short bursts.

Your mentor can offer an opportunity to expand your existing network of professional contacts by introducing you to relevant connections. On average, our mentees receive 3.5 connections from their mentors.

Monika Visnova

UI/UX Designer
Slevomat

My goal was to switch career from architecture to UX design and get a full-time job within six months. My mentor helped me navigate in the UX world while I was applying for jobs and going to interviews. I’m happy to say I managed to reach this goal and now I enjoy my new role in Slevomat.

Helena Davis

Over the past 6 months I feel I have grown in many aspects of both my personal life and my approach to the career path ahead of me. I was able to increase my confidence and become a more effective negotiator.

The program pushed me to work harder on achieving my goals, set a vision, explore my strengths, and gain confidence.

Kristina Ivanova

Sr. Financial Controller

It's finally nice to have a role-model and also a cheerleader in one person, who believes in you, wants the best for you, leads you in new places and shows you the world of options. And who understands you. I am happy for that!

FAQs

What is the time commitment?

The program takes 6 months and you’ll receive 12 hours of mentoring from your mentor. We recommend meeting your mentor for 1 hour once in 2 weeks, but it’s up to you and your mentor how you schedule it.

What are the requirements to be admitted to the program?

We accept into the program only people who can set their professional goals and are serious about their professional development. Not sure if you are fit for the program? Schedule consultations with us.

What’s the application process?

First, you have to fill an application form. It takes only 2-3 minutes. The next step is to submit your payment. When we receive your application, we’ll schedule a call with you to discuss your career challenges. We’ll let you know after the call if you were selected for the program.

I don’t belong in any of the mentoring categories. Can I still apply to the program?

Yes! This is a very personalized program and we work hard at finding the best mentor for your own particular goals and challenges.

When is the start date?

We’re excepting applications to the program by the first day of every month. After we receive your payment, we reserve up to 3 weeks to find a mentor for you. In many cases, you’ll get matched with your mentor within a week from when we received your payment.

How are mentors and mentees matched?

When we match mentees with mentors, we are aware of the goals that you have filled into the application. We, then, discuss your application with your potential mentor to see if they think you are a good fit for them and if they can help you with your goals.

We take into account your request for a mentor when you fill in the application. Although you can’t select a specific mentor, we make sure that we match you with the best possible mentor for your goals.

After you meet your mentor for the first time, you can let us know if you think that the mentor is not a good fit for you and request a rematch. The mentor can do the same.

How much does the program cost and what are the payment options?

The program costs 6,000 CZK for people who are located in the Czech Republic. If you are located in UK, the price is 299 GBP. If you are located in another EU country, the price is 329 EUR. If you are located in the US, the price is 379 USD.We offer a 15% discount to students and women on maternity leave (you can select this option in the application).

We use Stripe to allow you to pay with a card right away. You can also pay via bank transfer to our bank account. In both cases, you’ll receive an invoice from us. Please read our refund policy here.You can also pay through SODEXO, Benefit Plus, and Benefity. For this option, please skip the payment and talk to us about this on the call with the program manager.

Can my employer cover the program fee?

Yes! In many cases, the employers cover the program fee. We recommend that you talk to your manager and pitch the program (here are some tips on how to do that). If you have a professional development budget in your company, you should be able to use it for this program.

How are mentors compensated?

At this moment, we are unfortunately unable to offer a financial contribution to mentors for their mentoring time. The program fee paid by you simply helps us cover the marketing and operational costs of our business -- they make this program possible. We believe strongly, that there are many other benefits of being a mentor beyond financial compensation, and our mentors think so too. They are mentoring because they want to help people.

Where do I have to be located to be able to attend this program?

You can join this program from any location! Our mentors are situated in the major cities (Prague, Brno, Bratislava, Warsaw, London), but many of them offer mentoring remotely. In case you are not located in any of these cities, you can only attend your mentoring session online.

I don't identify as a woman. Can I still apply to the program?

You can! Although this program is promoted as a mentoring program for women, we believe that men also need support and can learn from our mentors.

Is English a requirement?

It’s not! Many of our mentors speak Czech. You can select the language of preference in the application form. If you prefer, you can also fill out an application in Czech here.
