29.April 2024Trotz zeitlich “auf Kante” war Patrick zu unserem PingPong sehr gut vorbereitet. Es ist knifflig für einen Mentee gute Fragen zu stellen zu einem Fachbereich, den man selber noch nicht vollends auf dem Schirm hat. Patrick aber hat mir parallel zu meinen Fragen einige signifikant wichtige Punkte wieder gespiegelt, die ich selber so nicht auf dem Schirm hatte. In die Details kann man immer noch selber gehen wenn man denn dann diese Ansatzpunkte hat. Also - ausgezeichnete Learnings für mich und mein Projekt durch dieses Mentoring mit Patrick. Spannend auch zu sehen, dass trotz der Thematik Vertragswesen darin immer noch eine gewisse Flexibilität liegt. Ich weiß jetzt jedenfalls wie weiter. Meinen herzlichen Dank an Patrick für seine Geduld und das Zuhören! Das ist heutzutage nicht immer selbstverständlich und das schätze ich außerordentlich! Danke dafür…

15.May 2024I had a mentoring session with Patrick as part of my preparation for a job interview in the Automotive industry. It was very useful for me to learn about his experience in procurement management. Also, his advice about being ready to present and explain the products I had previously worked on was extremely handy, as it was exactly the question I received during the interview. The session overall was very beneficial for me. Patrick, thank you for your help!
