Talk to growth design mentors
“A really useful call with John, covering UX process and managing a design team. I will definitely be seeking his advice again in the future!”
“John was exactly the right person to talk to! His years of experience shone brightly in our call and I’m eager to continue our discussions!”
“Patrick was able to give me some insights that were very valuable to the challenges I am facing. Due to his extensive knowledge when it comes to Atlassian products and company, he pointed me in the right direction. Thank you.”
“Patrick totally understood our problems in organizing the design process and shared practical tips on how we can do better. We will definitely chat with him again. Thanks, Patrick.”
“Amazing call with Paulami! We talked about the project I’m working on, how we should approach information hierarchy, how to reduce friction as much as possible when launching a new app, and how we should see what others are doing when trying to address the same kind of design issues. Definitely one of the best calls I’ve had on GrowthMentors.”
“Great session, straight to the point. Paulami walked us through each of our screens and pointed out potential improvements and changes. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future.”
I asked Markus for specific feedback on our onboarding flow UX and product language during, since that experience is a key differentiator. We walked through the current UX and my proposed designs updates.
Markus identified areas of likely friction that I hadn’t known were there, and helped with design ideas to resolve those issues. He also identified and talked through other use cases for my technology beyond what I showed him. He’s a target persona (my product is a tool for designers), and I’d heard this suggestion from one other designer, which adds some powerful validation. Fantastic session!
“Markus played an oversized role in helping me make some vital UX decisions. I learned so much and felt joy in meeting with him. What a great help Markus was to my professional development and critical decision making.”

Simple answer
Because they are nice people.
Extended answer
- They genuinely enjoy helping.
- They want to share their experiences and help others learn from them. Sharing their experiences, wins and failures can truly change the trajectory of someone else’s path.
- It keeps them on their toes. No better way to sharpen your skills than to teach someone else!
- Speaking with up and coming businesses is fun and exciting!
- Growth Mentors have a growth mindset and are looking to learn in each and every situation- including mentoring sessions.
- They are new to platform. New mentors are asked to do some free sessions in the beginning to get their feet wet and get a feel for the platform. Only after mentors have 3 reviews can they set a price and charge.
