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

If you're on the lookout for a mentor, and you're feeling a bit uncertain about how to navigate this process – this one's for you. In a relaxed and informal introductory call, I'll personally introduce myself, guide you through the platform, explain the ins and outs of our mentorship program, and discuss how I would go about setting up a mentorship tailored to your needs.

This session is perfect if you're in the market for a long-term mentorship but are unsure about how it all comes together. It's also great if you've already identified a specific mentor, and you'd like to familiarise yourself with them before diving into the mentorship journey.
