On the 3rd of June, Youth Business Russia and the Institute of Mentoring carried out a webinar ‘Common behavior patterns in crisis period.

Control the controllable’ in the frame of SOS Mentoring global initiative.

The participants of the webinar were mentors and coordinators working at the programmes implemented by the Mentoring Institute jointly with our partners in Russia, as well as mentors and programme coordinators from Armenia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia.

The webinar was conducted by Boris Tkachenko and Irina Gorelova.

At the webinar, the participants discussed

• The common behavior patterns of a mentee under pressure and what a mentor can do about it,
• Types of crisis – how to differentiate between them and how to help a mentee,
• Control the controllable – how to help a mentee to concentrate.

The mentors practiced the ‘Control the controllable’ approach in groups.

In the coming days, the next 3 webinars will be delivered designed to support the acting mentors, for them to feel more confident in their role as mentors and to be able to support their mentees during the crisis.

The partners of the SOS Mentoring in Russia are Impact Hub Moscow, Our Future Foundation, Yugra Entrepreneurship Support Fund, “Ahead to Changes" Foundation (“Навстречу переменам”).
