What our company clients say

Read about the experience of our clients who sent their colleagues to our Mentoring program
We cooperated with Femme Palette on Mentoring Program for Avast women employees. This program was focused on leadership skills, soft-skills development. Mentees had a chance to learn from the experts across different industries which was invaluable. After the program mentees felt more confident about how to pursue their careers, started to build personal brand and some Mentees even got promoted!
Irina Veligan
Campaigns Optimization Manager at Avast, Women at Avast Committee member
The experience of working with Femme Palette has been impactful and really easy! The participants of our women’s development programme, who were matched through FP to their mentors, felt it was the most beneficial part of their experience. Throughout the programme we felt supported, with useful reporting insights on progress for the mentees. What we liked about Femme Palette as a partner, is their commitment to supporting women get access to development through the FP Scholarship fund who may not otherwise have the opportunity.
Raveena Dhadwal
DEI Business Partner

90% of our mentees would like to continue in mentoring, most of them even with the same mentor. I believe this speaks for itself. From my personal point of view – I've seen quite a few AHA! moments of our mentees, great progress and even shifts of their mindsets over the course of this particular program. 
Zuzana Peskova
Head of People & Culture
at Livesport
We love working with Femme Palette! Our whole team is so excited to get a chance to speak with senior mentors and gain experience through conversations without actually spending months or years of trials and errors themselves. We will definitely continue in the future and keep the option for people to join this awesome program!
Pavla Munzarova
CFO at Mews
People&Culture is one of the company priorities. The development of our team leaders and managers is our primary focus, as we know they are the key to our success. We chose Femme Palette’s mentoring program to become one of the pillars in this development initiative, and I could not thank the mentors more! The perspective brought from outside of Bonami helped our managers broaden their view on their growth, as well as people management in the company. Every mentee I talked to found the program beneficial for their current role and for their future career steps.
Regina Kluchova
Chief of People at Bonami
We wanted to give our leaders and managers the possibility for both professional and personal growth. Our aim was to implement a long-term educational program focused on improvement of our managers’ soft skills, and once we saw what Femme Palette offers, we knew we had found the corresponding way of doing that. The main purpose of the program was for our leaders to clarify their professional goals and get inspiration for their managerial roles from other professionals from different companies and industries. We really appreciate the cooperation with Femme Palette, their proactive approach and their willingness to solve all our ad hoc requirements. Their reports gave us a great overall picture of the impact the program has had on our company's everyday reality.

Read about the experience of mentees who were sent to our Mentoring program by their employer.
I had a blast and grew so much in these couple of months. I feel very lucky to have had Pavla as my mentor. Not only is she knowledgable, well-read and professional, she's also a wonderful person and joy to be around. No matter how stressful my week had been, after a mentoring session I always felt better. Her enthusiasm and positive energy are infectious. I have learned SO MUCH and I couldn't be more grateful. I know I'll benefit from your tips and attitude for years to come. Thank you!
Pavla Mautvicová

I had a great experience with my mentor Rana. She suggested great trainings, initiatives, approaches and challenged my way of thinking or acting in order to help me grow in my current role and move towards my mid-term goals. Now I have a toolbox full of ideas I can pick from everyday.

It's great that this program can connect you with someone who sees the world through your eyes, shares your common interests and is much more experienced than you and can advise you. It's only up to you what you would like to know.
