8 answers to questions about mentors in carding life
1. Who is the carder-mentor?
Translated from Latin as "mentor, teacher, master". The very definition of "mentor" came to us from ancient Greek mythology. According to legend, Odysseus had a friend named Mentor, who was experienced and wise, but too old for a military campaign to Troy. Therefore, Mentor stayed in Ithaca and, at Odysseus 'request, taught and raised his son Telemachus all this time, passed on his knowledge and wisdom to the heir, took care of Odysseus' wife and helped preserve the family hearth while waiting for the main character from a multi-year campaign.
Homer wrote that the goddess Athena herself led Telemachus through life in the guise of Mentor, so in ancient legends often "mentor" = "mask of the deity". Nowadays, a mentor is a person who provides all possible support, mentors, trains and helps to achieve goals.
Socrates was Plato's teacher. He was Aristotle's mentor. And Aristotle was Alexander the Great's mentor
2. So "mentor" and "carder-mentor" are the same thing?
Indeed, they have the same goals-to teach and share their experience. But if we consider working methods, the difference is large.
The task of a mentor is only to teach you how to do something. If you apply for a job, you are given a more experienced mentor who shows you how to perform a particular work operation, requires you to repeat the same actions, and do exactly the same thing. That is, the mentor teaches you to go the "beaten path".
The mentor has a different approach-to share their own experience. The mentor projects his / her life and professional experience onto the mentee (menti) and creates an individual program for each of his / her mentees. For example, it shows what methods, tools, and technologies can be used to properly organize a team's work in order to achieve maximum efficiency. In addition, the mentor always warns about possible difficulties and unsuccessful actions when choosing a particular strategy. Based on this information, it expects you to come up with or find your own way to achieve the goal. Ultimately, the goal of a mentor is to help you develop your individual strategy and guide you to the goal according to an agreed plan. During the training process, the mentor shows you all the ways to achieve the goal, gives you answers to questions and tips, but never interferes with the work and does nothing for you!
So, mentoring is a type of mentoring that involves deeper work with wards. The mentor, as an experienced specialist, not only shares knowledge with you, but also provides moral support, helps you solve complex problems, and generally has a positive impact on your development as a person and specialist.
So, mentoring is not just a story about sharing experience, and a mentor is not just a mentor. This is a person who gives you the experience of their professional victories and defeats, achievements and mistakes. And his experience allows you to work your way to your goal much faster and more efficiently.
3. Who is NOT a mentor?
4. Mentoring or coaching, which is better?

Despite the fact that mentor and mentoring are concepts that have deep historical roots, today in the Russian-speaking space they talk more about coaching than about mentoring. And most people just don't distinguish between the two.
These practices do share common principles and processes, but they are based on different types of relationships.
Coaching is a professional activity that requires training in coaching practices. Specialists from psychology, consulting, and HR often come to coaching. A coach can simultaneously lead wards from completely different fields of activity, using a specific template technology. Therefore, a coach, in fact, can also be a person who does not have significant life, professional or business experience in your field, but has received a special coaching carding education.
Unlike mentoring, the goal of coaching is to help the client "understand themselves" in order to understand a short-term action plan that will allow them to solve problems more effectively. In other words, as a rule, coaching is a short-term mentoring that helps to solve certain narrow tasks.
In contrast, mentoring is long-term mentoring that develops the skills of the ward for the future, cultivates him as a professional, as a specialist in his field, generates the necessary thinking style in a person and lays the foundations for success in a particular business. Therefore, the mentor simply has to have extensive experience in this area. Thus, the mentor does not just help to solve existing problems, it motivates self-development and stimulates serious personal growth of a person.
5. How popular and effective is mentoring?
In developed markets, mentoring is considered one of the most powerful growth levers in any profession and one of the most effective ways to develop soft skills — flexible skills such as creativity and teamwork.According to the American Society for Learning and Development, 75% of CEOs believe that mentoring has played an important role in getting them a position.
Endeavor Insight analysts have been monitoring New York companies for 10 years and found that more than 33% of them have achieved success due to the mentoring of top entrepreneurs.
Mentoring also makes employees more loyal to the company. In the summer of 2019, SurveyMonkey conducted a survey on happiness at work. One of the conclusions: if employees have a mentor, they are much more comfortable in the workplace. Employees with mentors tend to believe that their company provides good career opportunities. Among top managers, 80% think so.
And here are some more figures from world statistics that confirm the popularity of this movement:
The Harvard Business Review conducted a survey of 45 CEOs to find out what role mentors played in their professional lives. As it turned out, 84% of CEOs believe that it was mentors who helped them avoid costly mistakes and quickly increase their expertise in a particular field.
6. Why do I need a mentor if I'm not a beginner?
There is a stereotype that only novice specialists need a mentor. This is a profound misconception. Every person at different stages of their life path needs one or another mentor for personal and professional growth. Here are just a few well-known examples::
1. Flickr co-founder Katerina Fake was a mentor to Chad Dickerson, founder of Etsy — the largest online marketplace for selling handmade and vintage items.
2. Ali and Hadi Partowi, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, were mentors for Drew Houston and Arash Firdowsi, founders of the cloud storage service Dropbox.
3. Steve Jobs was mentored by Mike Markkula, one of the first investors and top managers of Apple.
4. Google CEO Eric Schmidt was a mentor to its founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. You can list such star pairs for a very long time. Schmidt, in his book "How Google Works," wrote: "Even if the CEO is a superstar, he still needs a mentor. After all, the Olympic winners also have coaches."
So at different stages and in different situations, we need different mentors. Not only should their names change, but their roles, strategies, and directions should also change, simply because we ourselves and our life goals change.
7. Why do people do this?
I would say they do it for their own sake. After all, mentoring experience is a great reason to summarize your luck, life experience and re-evaluate your own professional path.
There comes a time in everyone's life when they want to feel important and in demand, when they want to share their knowledge and experience.
It's simple: to be happy, you need to help others, you need to feel useful and necessary. In addition, it has been observed that when you seek solutions to other people's problems, you withdraw from your own experiences. Working on other people's difficult situations allows you to look at your problems with a new perspective.
It is also a great pleasure for a mentor to see how your student is achieving success. So mentoring is always a two-way process in which you both invest and receive investments.
8. What are mentors?
Yes, the most different. How did she share her experience with her boss, what does it mean to be a woman? I taught her to walk "as we walk", not "drive piles in"… Here is pure personal mentoring for you.
There is, for example, social mentoring, when Public Integration Funds from different countries sign contracts with specialists to provide such services to refugees so that they can adapt to a new environment.
Legal mentoring may also take place. Believes: "Mentoring and transferring experience in the profession is the most important condition for developing the best qualities of a lawyer. Of course, success can be achieved without a mentor, but then the path will be much more difficult and thorny."
So the conclusion here is clear: mentoring is a very interesting, promising and promising path.
Each person can and should be a mentor for someone to realize their hidden and obvious talents, to feel happy and needed, to help people.
And every person should have their own mentor, and not just one. To find yourself, to find your way, to become a successful specialist, to solve problems faster and more efficiently. Do you want to become a mentor or find your own mentor?
