Mentorship Program
Personalized Mentorship for DPA Students
A one-on-one mentorship session designed exclusively for DPA students who want tailored guidance, honest feedback, and a clear path forward. You’ll walk away with a strategy built around your goals — and the follow-up support to actually make it happen.
A one-on-one session tailored to your goals, plus two weeks of personal follow-up to make sure you're not just inspired — you're taking action.
As a DPA student, you have access to a mentorship program by our founder – Marina Araujo, that goes beyond quick advice. This is strategic, individualized support designed to move you forward — with a clear roadmap, real feedback, and two weeks of personalized follow-up to keep you on track.
What’s Included?
01
90-minute 1:1 meeting with the founder focused on your next steps
An in-depth, focused conversation tailored to your unique goals. We'll work through your challenges, map out next steps, and define a strategy that aligns with where you are — and where you want to go.
02
Personalized action plan based on your background and goals
Within 48 hours of your session, you’ll receive a written roadmap with clear, actionable steps. No generic advice — just a strategic guide to help you implement what we discussed, in the right order, at the right pace.
03
Recording of the session sent to you for future reference
You’ll receive a full video recording of your mentorship session, so you can revisit insights, advice, and strategies anytime. A valuable tool for reflection and long-term growth.
04
Follow-up support for 2 weeks (via email, whatsapp or portal)
For 14 days after our session, you can send updates, questions, drafts, or progress check-ins — and get direct, thoughtful feedback to help you stay aligned and accountable.
05
Access to a private mentorship portal with session
A dedicated space just for you. All your materials — session notes, files, resources, and recordings — are organized in one place for easy access and ongoing reference.
06
Optional follow-up extensions available in 2-week increments
Need more time to stay on track? You can add extra support in 2-week increments (up to 6 weeks total), so your mentorship adapts to your pace and your process.
