If you’re following us closely, you know that we regularly share testimonials from our mentees. How do we collect those? After each mentoring session we share a short survey with them, allowing us to learn about things such as their topics of interest, the added value of each session and if there’s something they were missing. All of which helps us to continuously improve and grow - together with our mentees. 🌱 What you 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 know yet is that there’s a 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 survey which is addressing our 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 by collecting information on the key topics and challenges shared by our mentees as well as how our mentors addressed those during their session. Why this additional survey? Because feedback goes both ways and this 2-fold approach enables us to create a holistic picture.💡 𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬: 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲! Just visit the CoffeeCodeBreak website, look for a mentor profile that resonates with you and book your slot. 📆 𝐀 𝐡𝐮𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮, Merissa, your colleagues and all other mentors for your time, dedication and your continuous effort to empower fellow #womenintech 💛 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘 💪🎊

How do the upcoming World Product Day and the topic of mentoring go together? 🤔 …perhaps not at first glance but when one of our former mentors Merissa Silk asked CCB for a collaboration connecting exactly those two topics, we of course said “yes” immediately! Why? Well, first of all because we appreciate those kinds of opportunities to promote the concept and added value of mentoring. And secondly, we’re super happy that Merissa reached out again after a first amazing and successful collaboration in January this year, where she decided to dedicate one of the volunteering days provided by her employer to offer mentoring sessions for #womenintech (amazing!). 🙌💚 So, this time we’re basically following the same approach but we’re levelling up! What does that mean? Merissa will use the World Product Day next Wednesday, May 15th as an occasion to again offer mentoring sessions over the CCB platform - only this time it won’t only be her but about 10 other women working in the field of product development! Which also means a higher availability aka more slots for you to fill! How cool is that? 🎉 So, how can you book a session? Very simple! Visit the CoffeeCodeBreak website, look for a mentor profile that resonates with you and book your slot for May 15th aka the above mentioned World Product Day (𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬, 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚'𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰👇). 📆 Not sure which topics to address? These can basically be anything ranging from a potential career change (into tech) or simply getting another perspective and input on a professional challenge that you’re currently facing. And of course, you can use this unique opportunity to deep-dive into the topic of product management.💡 Curious now? Well, you’re just a few clicks away from an inspiring conversation, so don’t be shy ;)
