Introductory Call with Wisen

I sought mentorship with Wisen because I was struggling in my role as a technical lead. I hoped to gain clarity and guidance on how to improve in both the technical and interpersonal aspects of my job. Working with Wisen was a transformative experience. His patience, empathy, expertise, and communication skills stood out immediately. He made me feel truly heard, especially as I navigated the challenges of balancing technical responsibilities with team collaboration. Wisen helped me gain clarity through pragmatic mental models and consistently supported me by sharing personal stories from his career and life. These stories reminded me that I wasn’t alone in my struggles and that growth is possible. One of the most impactful parts of our mentorship was his ability to help me identify my true passion—working directly with technology. He guided me through a critical decision point: whether to pursue a more technical path or move toward management. His thoughtful questions and encouragement helped me realize where I thrive most. He also pushed me to seek feedback from others, even when I was uncomfortable with it. That challenge led to real growth—I now regularly reflect on feedback to improve as a teammate and professional. Through our sessions, Wisen helped me break through mental barriers, become more empathetic, and take actionable steps toward promotion, including initiating conversations with my manager. Over the course of our mentorship, Wisen’s guidance was uniquely impactful. He helped me navigate both technical challenges and personal growth with equal care. His ability to problem-solve and offer perspective on both IT and human dynamics is exceptional. In short, Wisen helped me through mental health struggles while guiding me professionally. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking mentorship in both technical and personal development.

His insights on both interpersonal relationships - working with others as well as intrapersonal relationships i.e. handling difficult emotions at work have been useful to me.
