Americo Pinto Chair at PMO Global Alliance, Mentor III edycji Programu Mentoringowego

Mentoring is a wonderful relationship that is not just about taking, but also about giving. This program is not only an opportunity to confront your ideas and solutions with people who have achieved success in their field, but also to work through the problems you are facing. Changing a job, choosing a life path or a difficult decision to make are just some of them. Talking to people who have been down the path you are on now is an eye-opening experience

Mentoring inspires not only the Mentee, but also the Mentor, and cooperation gives a lot of inspiration. Accompanying another person on the path of development gives a lot of satisfaction

1. Just try it. You can always quit or ask for a step back, such as changing mentors. 2. You won't know if it's worth it if you don't try. 3. Approach with openness, at the beginning nobody knows the detailed plan - let yourself be positively surprised and take you on a journey inside yourself. 4. Persevere and evaluate in hindsight - you decide your own duration and needs. 5. Trust

Participating in the PMI Program allows you to test different solutions and see the most effective ones without the pressure of daily work in a professional environment. Most valuable? If you, as a Mentor, establish a good relationship you will learn a lot about what can go on in the heads of people similar to your Mentee 🙂

Joanna-Bociag-koleczko
Joanna Bociąg Business coach, project manager, tutor with many years of experience, mentor in the 3rd edition of the Mentoring Program

Mentoring is an extraordinary relationship. You take as much as you want and give as much as you can. Knowing that both parties are doing it voluntarily for their own development is extremely freeing. This is what allowed me to build a strong mentoring relationship based on trust, honesty and openness. As a result, both sides have born amazing rewards that we didn't expect at the beginning

Eric Parsloe The Oxford School of Coaching & Mentoring

What is mentoring?

Mentoring is a structured partnership relationship between Mentor and Mentee. It consists of regular meetings during which the Mentor (who is generally a more experienced person with specialized knowledge in a given field) supports and develops the competences of the Mentee. Mentoring is aimed at eliminating competence gaps and blockades identified by the Mentee. The key in this relationship is mutual trust, confidentiality, respect and building self-motivation of both parties for self-development, as well as seeking other perspectives on problematic issues.

  • Expanding the knowledge as an expert,
  • Personal satisfaction and fulfillment thanks to the mentor-mentee relationship,
  • Improving leadership and communication skills,
  • Possibility to present original ideas, solutions and perspectives,
  • An opportunity to reflect on your own goals and opportunities,
  • Building new professional contacts and personal branding.

Benefits of being a Mentee:

  • Guidance and support on professional development,
  • Being provided with vital feedback, which will lead to personal growth,

Position: Project Manager

I’m a seasoned Project Manager with over a decade of experience specializing in IT projects. Right now, I’m working in a global IT group responsible for delivering IT-enabled projects and enhancements for internal customers in Finance groups across all International Paper locations. Before this, I’ve also worked as IT Project Manager across various areas of business, including supply chain, customer service, and sales. This diverse experience has given me a broad range of skills and knowledge that enables me to offer a well-rounded perspective to any project or team. Before I started my Project Management journey, I spent a few years working on various Supply Chain related positions at International Paper and at Unilever. I earned a postgraduate degree in Enterprise and Supply Chain Operations Management – Logistics Manager from the Higher School of Logistics in Poznan, and a master’s degree in Automatics & Robotics from AGH University of Science and Technology. I’m also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) by the Project Management Institute (PMI). When it comes to my work as a Project Manager, I believe in taking a feminine, soft approach. Of course, technical aspects are important, but I also recognize that project success is highly dependent on the people involved in its implementation. That’s why I always strive to be empathetic and prioritize open communication and teamwork with my project team. I make sure each team member feels valued and respected, creating a positive and motivating atmosphere that leads to better results for everyone.

Klaudia Purchała-Przybyła

Position: Line & IT Project Manager

I’m a Project Manager absorbed by IT. I really enjoy working with specialists in this industry. It’s a great thing, because in IT I meet very open, smart (and patient 😉 ) people, with incredibly open attitude towards other. Apart from PM I’m probably closest to UX/UI or CX. This is one of the reasons why I fell in love with Design Thinking: an empathetic approach to working on user problems.

I like to make “things happen” while the plan is in progress, while the brainstorming is going on. Coordinating events, connecting threads, working on the next stage, on the next iteration of a product: water on my mill! I’m a lover of all kinds of knowledge, passionate about new challenges, loves to gain new knowledge, learn interesting facts.

Wojciech Dymowski

Position: Agile Coach

IT Project Management / Agile Software Development / Product Management

I take care of delivering “reasonable” IT solutions.
Organising and maintaining the environment which allows to deliver such solutions – this is what I do on an everyday basis, what I like and what I am capable of doing.
Providing such an environment covers for me designing effective processes plus building and developing great teams which communicate in a highly effective way both internally and with the customer.
How do I understand a reasonable solution?
The best possible considering needs and limitations given – using lean, agile…
but applied in a very practical way. And providing both the delivering team
and the customer with great satisfaction.
I have no doubts that one can achieve their own goals and live by themselves to the fullest. The way to do it is by constantly growing and exceeding your limits. That is why I keep listening to others and cave diving.

Jakub Sotwin

Position: Senior Engineering Manager

During my almost 10-year adventure in IT, I have already had the opportunity to work in almost every position. Thanks to my many years of experience as a programmer, I have gained not only technical knowledge but mainly an understanding of how things work from the bottom up. Through working in systems integration (both in the US and Europe), I learned the customer’s perspective and expectations. Working as a ScrumMaster taught me the team perspective and the Product Owner the product perspective. Many years of team management allowed me to use all the previous knowledge to optimise the team’s work to achieve the required goals. Later, working as a project manager, I learned how to put it all together to achieve the goals. Now, working as a Senior Team Manager, I manage other managers and scale all my previous experience to 3 teams and the work of more than 20 talented engineers.

I am confident that through my experience I can help you too.

Kamila Majcher

Position: Senior Transition Program Manager

I’m passionate about transition management and all flavors of it – change, development, standardization and leading people through the project. 15 years of international experience in insourcing and outsourcing businesses, in finance and HR processes, from project/program management, process improvement, system implementation, and change management to operational work gave me perfect chance to learn what’s crucial to turn the change into an opportunity and make it successful.
While working I’m structured and goals-oriented but at the same time I listen to peoples’ concerns and try to secure their sense of safety throughout the process of change.
I love the diversity in all areas of my work – different people, multicultural environment, altered views – this (and much more ;)) makes every day perfect opportunity to learn and grow.
