The Mentoring Program is guided by FÉ founder, Stephany Goncalves, and lasts 4-6 months. The FÉ mentoring program involves a long-term trustful relationship between the mentor and the mentee. The regularly scheduled sessions are tailored to the individual goals of the mentee. There is a sequence of tools implementation, assessment and evaluation, feedback sessions, and progress reviews. The design of the program maximizes effectiveness because of long-term support and a holistic approach to the determined course of mentee development.
Mentoring sessions are independent one-time meetings with a focus on a specific issue or goal of a choice. The advice is immediate and ad-hoc with a less deep prior preparation compared to the mentoring program. The session you can have is free of charge and offered by any of the members of the FÉ Table, our Mentor Network.

A mentor is an authority in a concrete field or profession. The relationship between a mentor and mentee is quite informal where the experienced mentor is the guide. Mentees can ask for advice on a career path or navigation and together with the mentor work out both soft and hard skills, aligned with the mentor’s expertise.
At FÉ, we have developed a unique approach to mentoring, focusing on soft skills that are versatile across industries and professions. We define a mentor as someone who blends the roles of a mentor and coach, offering not just guidance but also personal expertise tailored to the mentee’s needs. This personal approach ensures that the mentor can effectively support each mentee's learning and growth, as quality mentorship lays the foundation of our platform.
