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.

Your mentor

This introductory call is designed to help us evaluate whether ongoing mentorship would be a good fit. During the session, I’ll learn more about your current situation, career goals, challenges, and what kind of support you’re looking for. I’ll also share how I typically work with mentees, what areas I can help with most effectively, and what you can expect from a mentorship relationship.

I can be especially helpful if you’re:

- Transitioning into a Team Lead or Development Manager role
- Looking to improve communication or facilitation skills
- Navigating difficult situations within a team or organization
- Planning your long-term career growth in IT
- Seeking practical leadership guidance from someone actively managing teams
- Interested in freelancing or starting a business in Germany as a foreigner

My approach is practical, honest, and focused on helping people make steady progress through clear next steps and realistic expectations.

I usually conduct sessions during weekday evenings and weekends (Central European Time).
