Why Mentors Join (And Keep Coming Back)

“E o comunitate minunata, despre care vorbesc cu oamenii pe care ii stiu si pe care o recomand. Atat de mult mi-a placut comunitatea ca m-am inscris in comitetul de organizare si vreau sa mai fiu mentor si la urmatoarea editie.” Ramona Chihaia

Each mentor’s motivation may vary, but most do it for a few reasons:

Contribution

Most mentors find great satisfaction in sharing their hard-earned knowledge with people facing similar challenges for the first time. It’s a rare opportunity to genuinely help a community of people dealing with situations where you can truly make a difference.

A new challenge

Many mentors accept the challenge of being a mentor to test their own skills and knowledge.

Learning

The best way to learn is by teaching, as it forces you to organize and clearly present your knowledge. Plus, all mentors said they learned something new from the intense discussions with participants in their tracks.

Soft skills

Just use the opportunity to practice your presentation and facilitation skills, as you will need to manage the energy of 5 -15 people.

Discover a community

From fellow mentors, mentees and organizers, you will discover a community of passionate and open people who share the commitment to advancing the product field.
