Hey!
It looks like you just enrolled in the next cohort of Product Strategy for Designers and decided to take your learning one step further by investing in a mentor during the cohort – way to go!
Soon you'll receive an email introducing you to your mentor as well as a link to book your sessions with them. Mentors are only available for sessions throughout the duration of the course – sessions booked outside of the course duration are not guaranteed.
Please book all of your sessions (one each week) up front, before the course begins to reduce scheduling conflicts.
You'll have access to 2 live office hours (scheduled at an Americas & European friendly timezone) with Femke and all mentors throughout the course.
Coaching sessions are 1 hour of unstructured time for group discussion where other mentees will also be present. You'll be asked if there are any challenges or topics you'd like to bring to the group for discussion.
These are not recorded – this is to encourage vulnerability during the sessions.
Your mentors are there to help coach you – but can only do so if you come prepared with topics for conversation. Before each session, please think ahead of time and prepare an agenda.
This course is all about taking action, so think of this as good practice!
Some topics to bring for discussion could include:
Make a copy of the 1:1 template below to use as a starting point for discussion with your mentor.
At the end of the course, we kindly ask if you could share some feedback about your mentor experience in this short form.
If at any time you need help or want to send private feedback about your mentor experience, please reach out to Femke and her team at [email protected]
