Happiness at Work - mentoring
I worked together with István at Verizon Smart Communities HU Ltd. for nearly 10 years. During this time he organized numerous events, even outside of working hours, that supported team cohesion. One such initiative was the "Happiness at Work" group mentoring program between 2022 and 2023, which he designed based on an international course he had completed, and which he also led as a mentor. The series of discussions ran for a year, with one online meeting per month and about 10 participants. We talked through various topics and workplace situations together and most of the time we were also given homework, such as filling out tests, exercises and meditation. István led and accompanied these discussions with a coaching approach, using guiding questions and they were always spent in a good atmosphere. In addition, István shared some personal experiences and insights and we learned a lot from both his and each other's contributions.
I'm glad that I took part in this program, as it helped develop my self-awareness. The feedback I received shed light on some of my blind spots, as well as prompted me to reflect on my work and career. My relationships with my colleagues also improved as a result — I began initiating conversations more boldly, more often, and with more people. I also improved in actively listening to others. It further showed me that I should dare to express my feelings and thoughts more courageously and be more open toward others. I believe that developing these soft skills had a positive effect not only on our workplace relationships, but we also benefited from them in our private lives.
