Select an answer:

A wise guide who knows when to be silent. A strict coach who doesn't spare you. An inspirational visionary whose story motivates me. A silent observer who appears when I need him. A practical expert who understands my reality.

How would you react if your mentor gave you advice that goes against your beliefs?

Select an answer:

I will think about what he/she/they wants to tell me by that. I will express my disagreement and explain the reasons. I'll try to apply it – after all, he's more experienced. I'm considering whether I have chosen the right mentor. I am looking for what I can learn from the tension between us.

Which metaphor best describes your attitude towards professional growth?

Select an answer:

Mountain ascent – challenging, but it's worth it. Puzzle – I'm putting it together myself, piece by piece. River – I let myself be carried by the current. Greenhouse – I need the right conditions, then I grow quickly. Chess - a strategic game where every move matters.

In what environment would you prefer to meet with a mentor?

What holds you back the most in finding a mentor?

Select an answer:

I don't know whom to actually ask. Fear of rejection or disappointment. The feeling that I should handle everything on my own. I don't have a clearly defined goal. Lack of time and prioritization of other things.

If you were to be a mentor for someone else, what would you consider your greatest asset?

The ability to listen without judgment. Clarity and structure. Openness and sharing of one's own mistakes. Motivational approach and energy. Real experiences from practice.

Which statement best describes your idea of an ideal mentor?

Select an answer:

He doesn't need to be ubiquitous, but he knows when to speak up. It can move me forward without pushing me. It teaches me how to think, not what to think. He can be quiet when I need to talk. He knows the difference between my way and his own.

Imagine you have multiple mentor options – how do you choose?

Select an answer:

According to who invokes respect in me. According to the personality fit – it has to suit me. According to specific expertise and experience. According to recommendations and stories from other people. According to who surprised me with something.

What type of question would you most like to hear from a mentor?

Select an answer:

What is really important to you at this moment? What holds you back the most – and who knows about it? When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? Who would you be if you weren't afraid of failing? Where do you see yourself, but not for others – for yourself?
