Mentor with practical management experience
My extensive practical management experience and real-life examples provide me with a solid foundation for supporting leaders and professionals in making sense of complex decisions, changes, and workplace relationships.
As a mentor
I believe in the power of open dialogue, trusting collaboration, and practical thinking. I listen attentively, help my mentees see situations from different perspectives, and support them in making informed and realistic decisions. My goal is to create a collaborative relationship where the mentee feels supported yet sufficiently challenged to grow both as a leader and as a person.
Experience
I have been a mentor for over 12 years, supporting leaders and specialists from diverse backgrounds and with varied experience, both through individual mentoring and within development programs. In 2018, I completed Fontese’s six-month mentoring programme, and in 2023, I completed Fontes’ practical mentoring masterclass programme, after which I earned the EMCC international mentor certification, EIA Practitioner. I have over 25 years of leadership experience in various fields within a large organisation, including real estate, transportation management, procurement, security and fire safety, and health promotion.
Who I Work Best With
I work most effectively with mentees who are willing to honestly analyse themselves, take responsibility for their own development, and experiment with new perspectives and ways of working. I value an open mindset, a willingness to learn, and a genuine desire to bring about change.
What a mentee gains from the partnership
A mentee gains greater clarity about their role and leadership decisions, practical solutions for handling complex situations, and more self-confidence to grow as a leader or specialist. This collaboration helps develop teamwork, increase influence and effectiveness, and make more informed decisions—even in the midst of change or stressful work situations.
