The mentor simply shares his experience, advises you on what to do better, expresses his opinion about the methods you have chosen.<\/p>\n<p>Mentoring is usually free - no money is exchanged. Mentor and student change only by helping each other. The mentor shares his experience, and the student shares his time and work. For example, a mentor teaches how to paint walls, and a student paints a wall for free. (Of course, mentoring is more often about more complex topics.)<\/p>\n<p>Mentoring topics are countless. But, for example, the platform of mentors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idialogue.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Idialogue.lt<\/a>, which I recommend you try, distinguishes the following most common areas of mentoring:<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17319\" src=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/kuo-gali-padeti-mentorius-768x301.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/kuo-gali-padeti-mentorius-768x301.png 768w, https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/kuo-gali-padeti-mentorius-1500x589.png 1500w, https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/kuo-gali-padeti-mentorius-1536x603.png 1536w, https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/kuo-gali-padeti-mentorius.png 1633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Does every person necessarily need a mentor? I don&#039;t think a mentor is a necessary part of success. But a mentor is really helpful if you&#039;re stuck on your goals.<\/p>\n<p>On this day, April 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idialogue.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mentoring platform Idialogue.lt<\/a> has over 450 mentors. Lots of people willing to share their experiences! Yes, I advertise. But for free. No one asked me to advertise on Idialogue. <strong>I just believe in the Idialogue product.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are also many alternative platforms in foreign languages, which are not even worth mentioning, because Google is full of them. In Lithuanian - there are also alternative platforms. For example, you can take a look at what is offered:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mentoriai.inovacijuagentura.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Innovation Agency<\/a> (mostly for small entrepreneurs);<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ltbigbrother.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EN Big Brother<\/a> (mostly for businesses abroad);<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pvpa.lt\/veikla\/mentoryste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Association of Personnel Management Professionals<\/a> (mostly for HR specialists);<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lima.lt\/lt\/mentoryste.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lima<\/a> (mostly for marketing specialists);<\/li>\n<li>Lithuanian universities with mentoring programs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vu.lt\/studijos\/studentams\/mentoryste\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VU<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/studentams.ktu.edu\/ed-programos\/guided\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KTU<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/karjera.vdu.lt\/studentams\/mentoryste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VMU<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ism.lt\/mentorystes-projektas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISM<\/a>)&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2026And other mentoring programs that I don&#039;t know about myself, so I couldn&#039;t mention them.
