When you serve as mentor, you have the chance to practice and broaden your foreign language skills in a real life environment. Having studied a foreign language at school, many of us rarely get the opportunity to practice communicating in a foreign language context.
Cultural understanding
The collaboration with a mentee is not only something where you give, you can also receive a lot. You can learn about cultural particularities of your mentee and her or his region and implement your newly acquired regional and cultural understandings in future projects and international business dealings.
Communication and Leadership skills
Your communication and leadership skills are always in motion. By mentoring a person you will throw a pebble in the water and the concentric circles will travel forever after that. 'New' mentors will receive support and guidance in becoming better mentors from biz4d through specific project modules. The acquirement and expansion of these vital skills will form a solid basis for advancing your personal development and career.
Get engaged directly - as if you were on the spot!
When you act as a mentor, it really counts, your personal strengths, your preferences, but above all the person in YOU. By using modern means of communication you are able to follow the progress and development of your mentee closely, as if you were on the spot.
it is not all about money!
As a mentor, you will support, encourage, inspire, motivate and engage! It could be packaged in a money figure - this is why large development organization mainly work on the basis of donating money. It is not all about money however. Knowledge, personality and passion, for example, are not easily calculated and expressed in a monetary value.
By being a mentor you show who you really are!
When donating money, you replace your engagement with a number. The number may be big or small, in any case it may not reflect your typical character. At biz4d we invite you to leave your personal footprint. We invite you to get personally engaged and support a young person "somewhere in this world, we all share" and show this world who you really are!!
Get engaged for a topic you really care about!
Do you care about social challenges? Are you truly passionate about .......? Is there something in your own proximity, country, continent or somewhere else in the world toggling your mind you like to share with others? Something you or a very few only know about, because you use modern communication channels to receive certain information? Would you like to find a person, who is already working on what you really care about and give your personal support or like to share your ideas? Please let us know your needs and wants. Leave it up to us to see what we can do for you!
