These are some of the credits given by our mentors and mentees:
| Mentees | Mentors |
| Thanks for the program (and the mentor) I jumped over a few levels of self-consciousness The relationship will last beyond this program The mentor was always prepared and available for advise any time I’m satisfied with this program because 1) it was professional, 2) mentor was very inspiring, 3) I reached by goal My initial goal evolved during the program, I could get to know myself better and every meeting brought new thoughts on future career development | I learned to listen better Basing on my mentee’s influence I took a decision to do something that I haven’t dared to do for 20 years The development of the mentee, her work on herself, her happiness are my greatest satisfaction. I worked on my patience and listening skills – here was my biggest growth. An interesting view from the other side, wide perspective, mastering of leadership skills |
