"I had my first mentorship session with Shailvi when I was preparing to join a new company in a leadership role. The session with Shailvi was brilliant in many ways: over the 30 minutes, she delved into the context of my situation, provided actionable advice tailored to my needs, and offered much-needed support to boost my confidence. Shailvi helped me understand my concerns, prioritize where I should focus, and accurately identified the main challenges I would face in my new management role. She recommended learning materials for me to review at my own pace. This preparation with a mentor, combined with working through useful materials, helped me onboard at the new company with less friction and avoid many common mistakes people make in my role.
I am grateful to have the chance to work with Shailvi during moments when I need to resolve doubts or require confidence and support to move forward. She is an outstanding mentor and an awesome person who brings a great attitude to every session."
