“You are only as big as the dreams you dare to live,” is a quote that strongly resonates with me. When I think about mentors, I envision individuals who guide us on our journey to identify, solidify, and start living our dreams. I was fortunate to grow up in a family that supported my dream of studying abroad and exploring the world. They encouraged me to leave Bulgaria and go to Germany at the age of 18 and since then I have lived in 11 countries. My personal journey, marked by the transformative power of learning and continuous development, led me to Thailand and provided me with 15 years of very diverse experience in healthcare. I firmly believe in the potential of people and that anything is possible with enough effort and sometimes with a bit of help.
I have been fortunate to encounter several individuals who served as my role models, helping me establish connections, providing growth opportunities, and teaching me how to get better. It is my intention to be this kind of mentor and coach for my team and anyone else whom I feel I can support in creating positive social impact.
As a piece of advice to all mentors, I would emphasize the importance of truly listening and helping people on THEIR way, even if it differs from what you may foresee for them. As I continue my mentoring journey, I’m reminded that dreams are the compass guiding us toward a brighter future. What dreams are you daring to live?
