I recently completed a series of five mentorship sessions with Luiz and the experience has been transformative for my professional development. Luiz's mentorship focused on cultivating a senior mindset, enhancing verbal and written communication skills based on a concise and data-driven approach, and understanding the nuances of working in a dynamic environment.
His series of mock interviews made me reflect on my achievements and their impact on the teams or organizations I have been working for, the way changes need to be addressed with my peers and manager; with quantifiable data, and keeping track of implemented projects by getting back to them via future reviews, focusing on impact metrics.
During our conversations, we could set actionable and practical steps nailing key areas to incorporate a seniority mindset such as a customer-oriented approach, the importance of proposing solutions that are efficient, yet sufficient, emphasizing cost-effectiveness alongside nurturing a sharp eye for collaboration and negotiation when it comes to meeting deadlines or defining the scope of a project.
Our sessions helped me to internalize once and definitively that besides being up to date on the technical landscape, it is all about communication, the way we interact and collaborate with others, and how we provide value to people around us.
After gradually incorporating his feedback on my methods I could say I am a better engineer now, more connected with the required mindset the tech industry demands when it comes to focusing on impact and providing business value. Proof of this is that while we were working together, I was immersed in multiple job interview processes and I ended up with two offers in my inbox. Implementing his advice made me get a raise of 10% in my salary and get additional perks not in the original offer and have pavement the road for a growing engineer mindset.
Luiz is not just a mentor, his assertiveness in listening attentively to details and consideration for people’s thoughts makes him a caring person with the emotional intelligence to build the right sense of awareness of the circumstances, challenges, and people around him. I am really happy we managed to cross our paths and got the chance to learn from him.
