MY EXPERIENCE
MENTORING
Mentoring educational managers and L&D specialists
- I can help with decision-making and problem-solving when there is a lack of support or expertise
- We can have a long-term partnership on a regular basis or schedule 1-2 sessions to address specific inquiries.
L&D teams and startups guidance
- I work with EdTech startups from scratch: conduct research, adjust and develop your product idea, and create and implement business strategy.
- I implement new approaches and projects within the company, e.g., work with L&D teams on social and community learning, UGC, and knowledge management.
- I facilitate team sessions, brainstorm, and mediate workplace conflicts.
- I help to design and align business processes to the strategy and assist in building a whole new team.
FAQ
Mentoring is the least formal way of transferring knowledge and experience. Its essential components include the active engagement of both parties and a goal-oriented process. A mentor could work individually and with the whole team or project.
Most of the time, leaders and senior specialists with work experience. The need for specific and individual inquiries grows with gaining experience. Thus, tailored mentoring or coaching programs would be the best option. As for junior specialists, more formal learning and training are recommended.
Hard skills
- How do I design effective business processes for developing educational products?
- How can I motivate employees in my team?
- How to deal with work-related stress?
- How can I build learning communities within the company?
- How can L&D managers improve employees’ involvement in the learning process?
Most commonly, I work with EdTech startups when they have a product idea but lack an understanding of the market needs. Sometimes, we do research together to find a perfect market fit. Also, I can present a competitive and major trends analysis or put together a product quality team.
Teams need support in times of crisis or change. These include rapid growth and scaling, new strategy or approach implementation, team restructuring, or product relocation. An outside perspective and step-by-step navigation can help to identify possible risks and opportunities to change with fewer risks.
