The power of mentoring
Mentoring is a powerful tool that can change lives, providing valuable guidance and support to those who seek it. Mentors can be essential in helping people to achieve their goals and succeed in life, whether they are students or professionals.
The Futures Scholarship, one of the most significant parts of our program, recognizes the value of mentoring. This program provides scholars with access to experienced mentors who can offer them the guidance and support they need to succeed in their careers and personal growth.
If you ask me, the mentoring program is my definition of BHFF's scholarship.I had the opportunity to get a lot of advice and ideas from the mentor for both personal and professional development. The experience and new friendship gained from this program is the greatest and most significant benefit to me.-Maida Hodžić (mentor Goran Barbir)
The mentoring program benefited me in a way that I feel more confident about my future, mainly because throughout the mentoring cycle I gained tools on how to properly reflect and get the most out of myself and other experiences in my life.- Mirza Rakovac (mentor Lejla Seperović)
One of the most significant benefits of mentoring is that it provides a source of guidance and support. A mentor is someone who has already achieved success and has gone through many of the challenges that a mentee may face. They can offer insights and advice on how to overcome obstacles and achieve goals. This guidance can be invaluable in helping a mentee to stay focused and driven.
The benefits I take from this mentoring program are not really scalable and measurable. I benefit the most from forming my points of view and building confidence in my opinions and thoughts. That as a whole really influenced my self-confidence and trust in my abilities. But the most important thing I got from each and every meeting with my mentor was inspiration.- Ilma Spahić (mentor Lejla Tuholjaković)
Moreover, a mentor can provide a sense of accountability that can motivate a mentee to achieve their goals. Knowing that someone is invested in their success can be a powerful motivator for a mentee. It can encourage them to stay on track and work hard to achieve their goals.
The mentoring program gave me insight into my personality traits that I never noticed before. Now I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses even more and I know what I have to work on in the future. I believe that I improved a lot since the start of the cycle and I paved the way to work on myself even more in the future.-Enisa Lišnjić (Mentor Mustafa Šuvalija)
It was a very comfortable experience. I'm taking a lot of knowledge from the program. All of the skills that I practiced with my mentor are not something you learn at school or university but are very important in your professional and personal life. Zaim Mehić (mentor Hana Pašić)
These success stories of our Futures Scholarship scholars are a testament to the power of mentoring. We thank our scholars for these testimonials, as well as our mentors for being part of BH Futures Foundation family.
