About this session

An introductory call is a simple way to get to know a mentor before committing to ongoing mentorship. This session gives you the chance to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see whether the mentor’s background, communication style, and approach feel like the right fit for you. It is a low-pressure starting point designed to help you make a more confident decision.

You can use the call to share what you are working on, what kind of support you are looking for, and where you feel stuck right now. It is also a chance to understand how the mentor typically works with mentees, what kind of guidance they can offer, and whether there is a strong mutual fit. The goal is to leave the conversation with more clarity on your next step and whether you want to continue working together.

He combines a strong understanding of the industry with a very practical, goal-oriented approach, which makes his guidance both insightful and easy to act on. The sessions felt structured and focused, but never overly formal, Pavel was able to quickly understand my situation, ask the right questions, and help me think more clearly about the next steps. What I especially appreciated was his friendly and human approach. Pavel brings a great sense of humour to the conversation, which made the sessions not only useful, but also genuinely enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants thoughtful, honest, and actionable advice on navigating a career. ”

I thought I needed a mentor who could be a role model in a sense I couldn't just "ignore" like a friend, and someone established in the new field I am aiming for. Pavel is a great match. I feel very comfortable talking to him, which is incredibly important to me. He is experienced and supportive, and his background even matches my own goals destination-wise. Pavel helped me get unstuck and finally start moving. I am making progress in small steps thanks to his great support ranging from valuable professional advice to genuine "human" encouragement. Overall, this mentorship contributes greatly to both my personal and professional development. It is much less scary to do the "scary stuff" (like transitioning careers) with someone like Pavel on my team. :)”
