02 / Experience, shared
I lead people.
I help you become
the leader they need.
I’m Zvonimir Kegalj, a current first-line manager at IBM, where I’ve worked for 10 years. I have more than five years of people-management experience and have led over 100 people throughout my management career.
I bring that experience to mentoring: a practical conversation about your situation, the people involved and the choices in front of you.
We’ll turn the conversation into concrete next steps you can use in your own team or career.
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

04 / A few useful answers
Before we talk.
Do I need to be a manager already?
No. Mentoring is also for professionals considering a move into management. We can discuss what the role involves and where to focus your development.
How do sessions work?
Sessions take place online or face to face, with the time and location agreed together. Bring a challenge, question or decision. We’ll explore the situation and identify practical actions that suit your context.
Can we start with a single session?
Yes. A single 60-minute session is a good way to address a focused issue and see whether the approach works for you. There’s no requirement to commit to a package.
Is this connected to IBM?
No. This is an independent mentoring offer. My IBM experience is part of my professional background; IBM does not sponsor or endorse this service.
Can you guarantee a promotion or a team outcome?
No. Mentoring gives you perspective, practical options and support for your decisions. Outcomes depend on your situation, your organization and the actions you take.
