When you hear the word “mentoring,” you might picture someone fresh out of university or just starting their first role in tech, eager for guidance. And while early-career mentoring is powerful, there’s a growing trend we see at Femme Palette: more and more mid-level women in tech are actively seeking out mentors — and reaping major benefits. Whether you're a software engineer eyeing your first leadership role, a product manager navigating a complex team dynamic, or a data analyst feeling stuck in the same projects — mentoring at this stage isn’t about learning the ropes. It’s about gaining clarity, confidence, and strategy for your next move.
Roxana is a wonderful example of what an impact mentoring for employees can have not only on the team, but on the company as a whole. As a part of the mentoring program, Maja Seggerman, an international Business Consultant and Coach, helped her mentee Roxana Nica, a content manager at GLAMI, get a promotion, boost her confidence, develop new leadership skills, and fight her inner critic. Thanks to Roxana’s manager, also other GLAMI employees had the opportunity to broaden their perspectives and bring in new valuable insights to improve not only their individual performance, but also the overall output of the team and the business.

Today, we need an endless amount of information which might make it even harder to make decisions. The world around us has certainly become more complex and it makes us need to think differently than ever before. That is why we talk about the VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity).
