Episode 3: Mentorship, Meaningful Retrospection & Thought-Provoking Questions

In this episode, I’m joined once again by my fiancé, Thomas, for a conversation inspired by one of his recent client experiences. Together, we explore the importance of mentorship for junior employees and why it’s more than just guidance—it’s about empowerment, trust, and growth.

Thomas also shares his thoughts on how companies can truly benefit from taking a thoughtful step back during retrospectives—not just going through the motions, but creating space for real reflection and improvement.

We wrap up with a few thought-provoking questions that will leave you reflecting on your own work culture, leadership style, and growth journey.

What we cover:

• Why mentorship is essential for junior team members

• How organizations can create space for meaningful retrospection

• Questions to challenge your team (and yourself) for better collaboration and impact

Perfect for:
Leaders, team members, mentors, and anyone passionate about building healthier, more reflective workplace cultures.
