AM I THE RIGHT MENTOR FOR YOU?

Before getting into my professional and educational background, let me take a moment to say that I used to doubt that a mentor could in fact help me. Why? Simple, I was not looking for a mentor, I was looking for someone that would solve my problems and guarantee a successful future.
While a mentor can support such goals, the main responsibility of success (in whatever you do in life) is ours. Once I realized this, and looked for the right mentor, my view changed drastically (to the point I am mentoring today). By right mentor I mean – someone that you can connect, trust, talk and listen, and has experience that is valuable to you.
Now, how can I help you? Well, first and foremost, for me mentorship is a give and take, or better is learning of both paths. Having said that, I had (since very young age) to learn to live with changes, meaning I do understand the pain, anxiety, and other aspects it brings, however, I learned also to see the positive side of it.
My experiences are multicultural and can fit many individuals, which is positive as it can help clearing doubts that have to do more with culture than with your capacity as a professional.
Most important – for me, the exercise of mentoring must work for both sides. Hence, you can count that I will do my best and in case we see is not a fit, I will be the first to say and point you in a better way regarding mentoring.
Now, am I the right person to you? Let us have a chat and find out – the least we will take from this activity is to increase our network.
