From time to time, I work as a mentor within the framework of mentoring programs set up by my employer, Volkswagen.
A tandem is formed with an experienced manager at Volkswagen and a young junior employee who is still at the beginning of their career. The program usually lasts one to two years and is characterized by getting to know each other, listening, weighing up, advising, and
Give recommendations.

Figures. I see it as a symbol of our collaboration across the
Time. The bowl shows a harmony of the participants, but also
overall respect for the time spent together. This was, among other things,
Listening and attention on my part were reflected and were rewarded with appropriate respect, which made me very happy.
