"I was made redundant on the same day I received the email letting me know you have found my mentor. Within 6 weeks I got an offer, and started in my new company little over 2 months after the mentoring sessions with Tony started. Forever grateful for all his guidance and support."
Joana Delgado
Product, Growth Manager, Novartis
"Over the 12 mentoring sessions, I have learnt and developed in many aspects of my career and personal life. Through the program, my mentor has helped me switch careers successfully, grow confidently and improve on my overall personal development with increased focus and ambition. It’s a wonderful experience to learn from the experience of my mentor and have the support and guidance, especially when switching careers and starting from the beginning again."
Ayan Ali
Junior Frontend Developer, Elsewhen
"I really profited a lot from the mentoring program. My mentor Nahal gave me very valuable feedback and was able to help me with different development points such as communication in situations under pressure.  I feel more confident about my leadership skills now . Not only me but also my team benefits from this in our daily business."
Stefanie Bea
Sales Team Manager, SThree
"Through my mentorship program with Monique I gained many new perspectives for my day-to-day work. Coming from a different professional background, her outside perspective on our business was particular helpful and enlightening. A great experience, professional and personal."
Markus Tressl
Director Platform Technologies (CX Platform Solutions), Merkle DACH
"Can't recommend high enough! I gained not only advice and insight that helped me navigate challenging situations in my career but impacted me on a personal level as well. My mentor was my inspiration and I loved her energy and drive! I feel I developed and progressed as a person thanks to the programme. Also, the whole programme is very well organized. I already participated in mentoring programme through different organisation and Femme Palette is definitely the winner."
Tereza Kolářová
Head of Finance, Bonami
"Mentoring provided me with a really structured way of looking at key topics such as personal branding, communication styles and influencing.  The conversations and material have really helped me think about these topics in more detail and start to use some of the practical tips in my day-to-day work. I know they will be invaluable in the future."

What will mentoring and coaching help you with?

The programme 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.
