During the session, I can share with you my communication framework.

What mentees say

“I learned a lot from Michał's insights from his own experience. He's a great listener and attentive to provide relevant information to help you understand better about the discussed topic.”

“I had a great mentoring session with Michał where we talked about taking a break from one's career. Michał was very open to sharing both his personal and professional experiences, which made the conversation insightful and engaging. His suggestions were helpful and specific—whether it was recommending useful resources or offering alternative ways to approach a problem.”

“Michał shared his experience of being an Engineering Lead, he gave me practical advice on team management, leadership, and balancing the technical with people skills. I appreciate how down-to-earth and easy to talk to he was. He answered all my questions and gave me some solid tips. Highly recommend!”
