In mentoring process I gain energy from the other person who is getting on with their
life, their choices and ideas.

I became a mentor because I really want to help other people. It’s wonderful to see that something I have experienced in my life can be of use to someone else. I also enjoy to be able to
see the mentee developing in her work and life.

A good mentor is a person, who really desire to help and give out her own
life- and business experience to other people. A mentor has to be
professional, but very human, open and warm, for to be able to really
open the door to the mentees mind.

philanthropyMentor is a person with a wide life and
entrepreneurial work experience. It’s a fully developed personality with a wide life view.
He/she is fair and faithful – these are qualities, the mentor tries to hand over the mentees. This
person works in a team, listens to others. This individual willingly shares
own knowledge and contacts with others, dedicating his/her
time. This person is a philanthropist and a maecenas at the same time . To be a mentor is
an honor and a responsibility, which have been trusted.

Main principles on what I build co-operation of mentor – mentee:
these are frankness and faithfulness both in a success and in a failure.
A mentee’s wish to perform and gain new knowledge is also very
important.

else’s growth.

5 things why I will suggest to other experienced entrepreneurs / professionals become mentors:
• development of human resources within one’s own institution or within the surrounding enterprises.
• building a network between old & young professionals / entrepreneurs.
• enhance information flow - learning from each other
• getting into contact with other mentors nationwide
• also getting international contacts through mentoring platforms & project connections
EVALUATION OF MENTORING Qualitative research
August 2005
The association “Līdere” in collaboration with a market and social researches centre “Latvijas
Fakti” executed a research, whose goals were to clarify: (1) the advantages and disadvantages of
mentoring movement in the point of view of mentors and mentees; (2) mentors’
characterization viewed by mentees and mentees’ characterization viewed by mentors; (3) mentors’
and mentees’ personal qualities, which either encourage or impede cooperation; (4) mentors’
and mentees’ adequacy to the model of an “ideal mentor” and an “ideal mentee”. 10 mentors and 10
mentees were inquired during the research.
