Who is my mentorship for
My mentees are, first and foremost, intelligent people.
“Intelligent” — we use this wonderful word less and less often. But in addition to the basic English language definition — smart, clever, — there are several other meanings, no less important — such as reasonable, comprehensive, understanding. And perhaps, if many of us had only one word to describe our ideal romantic or business partner, offspring, friend, coworker or boss, we would use the word “intelligent”, so beautiful and succinct.
My mentorship program is, as well, for influential people. For people seeking happiness and balance, for those who wish to gain even more influence.
I consider a person who has an opinion on any matter of social, political, economic or any other aspect of life influential. A more influential person has an opinion and expresses it. An even more influential person has an opinion, expresses it, and is listened to. The most influential of the “mere mortals” have an opinion, express it, are listened to and, most importantly, are held in high regard. So everyone can determine where on my “influence scale” they are today and where, with my help, they would like to land in the future.
Also, my program is for entrepreneurs.
An entrepreneur, in my framework, is a person who makes an effort to better their life and takes responsibility for their successes and failures. Thus, a salaried employee, a performer or an official can also be an entrepreneur. In the best sense of the word! Not every owner, co-owner of a company or head of a huge corporation is necessarily an entrepreneur. In my opinion, it is entrepreneurs in a broader sense who make the world we live in better, even if their world is limited to their family or close friends.
I’ll be the perfect mentor to those who, in the process of searching for and realizing their business and personal potential, have hundreds of questions every day.
After all, according to the apt statement of Eugene Ionesco, a French playwright of Romanian descent and a recognized classic of the theatrical avant-garde of the twentieth century, it is not the answer that leads to enlightenment, but the question. There is no better way to put it.
I hope you will find answers to some of these questions with me!
Mentorship
A mentor is a seasoned professional, a source of knowledge and professional experience. A mentor not only inspires, but also promotes development in both the personal and professional life of their mentee.
According to research by Forbes and Endeavor, more than 30% of founders of successful startups in the world had mentors. Today, this model of learning and personal growth is used by entrepreneurs all over the world.
A mentor builds a long-term relationship with a mentee to support their development in the long term, while helping them solve their current problems. Mentoring utilizes the skills and tools of a coach, trainer and facilitator. A coach facilitates the achievement of specific professional and life goals by working with current behaviors, habits, and knowledge. A coach develops specific skills for a specific outcome. The facilitator’s task is to lead to the solution of the problem, based on the personality and style of work, in fact — to lead the process, selecting appropriate tools in the course of work.
A mentor offers his/her expertise and time, focuses on the problems and aspirations of the mentee, supports, gives constructive feedback, advises without a specific algorithm, motivates and provides support using his/her knowledge and experience.

Life is a mysterious thing, and we have to learn many lessons on the fly, by trial and error. I, being a person with a rather large set of unusual experiences, have always been convinced that the way we perceive and make sense of life's twists and turns actually depends on our mood and integrity as a person. I even thought of writing a book about it, but Konstantin, my old friend, beat me to it! The extent to which in the process of reading this book has resonated and resonated with my own thoughts and conclusions is almost shocking. It is the very real dialog with an old friend that we all so desperately need.

For almost 60 years my life has been closely connected with golf. Golf teaches us that we cannot be perfect all the time, that we need to concentrate on the process, and that the way to perfection is discipline and practice. Much of this applies to our daily lives as well. I'm glad to have had a wise friend for almost a quarter of a century whose support and advice, has and continues to help me stay in the game. And I don't just mean golf. This book is a great find for anyone who, like me, is constantly striving for happiness, fulfillment, and self-actualization.

A deep, intelligent book. It seems to have been suffered, but everything is easy to read, accessible, wisdom in a very clear, and therefore attractive package. The main thing that was avoided - on the one hand - moralizing, and on the other - the book is absolutely not like the endless business motivators and ‘infotsyganshchina’ about "successful success".

When your friend, whom you have known for 25 years, calls and suddenly asks you to read a book he wrote, you get scared. The first thought: Shit, I'll have to read it, the second - something will have to be said, and finally, the third - is he all right?))))) Of course, I did not expect such a prank from Konstantin. However, having gathered the last remnants of conscience I opened the work and ... exhaled with relief! It turned out to be non-fiction. At the same moment I found a friend again)))))) Friends! Believe me! The author did not work in vain. Each of us will find in this book obvious thoughts that come into people's heads every day, those people who have not yet learned to read. You will say, why did Konstantin do such work, if everything is so simple and clear? And I will answer: on examples from his own life, and it was and continues to be at the author so rich that enough for a 10-volume book, in a light, intelligent form, with humor, sometimes ironic attitude to himself, collected together the exact characteristics of our common life! When you read this book, believe me, many times you will want to exclaim: Damn right! That's exactly right! I had the same thing! And that, I'm sure, is the biggest reward for the author! Happy reading! Sincerely yours!

It is customary to speak often and a lot about happiness, but happiness is a space for thinking even more immense than the space itself. It does not consist only in work or only in family relations, traveling and other joys. Happiness doesn't even equal success. It is a more holistic feeling. The book is just that whole puzzle that fully describes happiness. The reader only has to rely on Constantine's experience to become a true friend to himself. This book will help to avoid your own mistakes and not to make bumps on the way to happiness.

From a very young age, I realized that I was incredibly lucky. I have a father in my life who is not only willing to pass on his knowledge and experience to me, but who is also willing to dig deep enough into my issues and problems without devaluing my own feelings and sensitivities to really listen and give advice that will make a difference. I always knew and know that I can rely on him as a good friend. But something I realized as I got older - that "friend" was myself all along. He managed to reflect my own thoughts, emotions, and values back at me in a way that made me a better person. This is a superpower that my dad has, and I'm genuinely thrilled that he decided to encapsulate it in a tangible object that I can put on my bookshelf. Not to mention, this book has a ton of stories and anecdotes that will have you laughing, crying, and pondering.
