GREAT NEWS! At Thursday’s meeting (May 21st), we will be joined by Professional mentor and coach, Igors Rautmanis.
Certainly one of Latvia’s most experienced. You can find out more about him at https://mystrengths.lv/ He is the leader of SĀC – Kalpošanas stratēģiskās attīstīcas centra with the Latvian Baptist Union in church assessment and coaching, as well as Baltic Pastoral institute https://ej.uz/ts8m. Igors is also on the European leadership of International student movement (IFES).
This is a rare opportunity that has been arranged, so we would not want you to miss out.
The focus will be on understanding the role as a mentor to a young person. How much is teacher, how much is coach, counsellor, friend and when those roles are most appropriate.
This will primarily be a question and answer time, so lots of opportunity for asking questions and discussion. Welcome to send me any specific questions you have in advance (in any language), or situations that you would like to have advice on. Questions sent in will be addressed first.
