Veiko Hintsov on Eesti Mentorite Koja mentor, kes toetab ettevõtjaid ja juhte nende professionaalsel arenguteel. Ta jagab oma kogemusi ja teadmisi, aidates menteedel leida selgust ärilistes ja juhtimisalastes küsimustes.

I believe that people grow alongside life's twists and turns, surprises and challenges. Personal experiences have come from both private and public sectors, developing from sales specialist to sales director, organizing major entertainment events, working in legislation in various forms, leading both small and large teams in Estonia and elsewhere. But in the end, I still see people everywhere, not job titles. Together with a mentor, we can find those thoughts that lead us forward.

Mind rõõmustab kõige rohkem hetk, kui inimene leiab enda jaoks järgmise sammu. See ei pea alati olema suur läbimurre, vahel piisab sellest, et mõte muutub selgemaks, fookus tuleb tagasi või tekib julgus edasi liikuda. Just sellised hetked on minu jaoks mentorluse juures kõige väärtuslikumad. Minu jaoks sünnib usaldus eelkõige selgusest. Kui inimene saab aru, mis on päriselt oluline, mis teda hetkel takistab ja kuhu võiks edasi liikuda, tekib ka kindlam pinnas avatuseks ja ausaks vestluseks. Püüan mentorina aidata mõtteid lahti harutada, tuua keerukusse selgust ja hoida ruumi, kus ei pea kõike kohe teadma ega valmis olema. Sageli just sellises õhkkonnas hakkavad tekkima päriselt olulised taipamised. Minu enda arenguteel on suurimaks väljakutseks olnud ilmselt liiga palju enda kanda võtmine ja kõrged standardid. Kui oled harjunud vastutama, lahendama ja asju lõpuni viima, on lihtne võtta rohkem, kui tegelikult peaks. Aastatega olen õppinud, et tulemuslikkus ei tähenda ainult pingutamist, vaid ka oskust märgata piire, hoida fookust ja jätta teistele ruumi kasvada. See teadmine on aidanud mul olla parem juht ja teadlikum kaaslane ka teiste arenguteel. Olen enda kohta palju teada saanud ja mõistnud, et töö inimestega on alati ka töö iseendaga. Teisi ei saa päriselt toetada ilma valmisolekuta vaadata ausalt otsa ka iseendale — oma harjumustele, ootustele, reaktsioonidele ja arengukohtadele. Mida rohkem on juhil või mentoril sisemist selgust, seda rohkem on tal võimalik luua seda ka teistele.

Olen rahvusvahelise kogemusega juht ja mentor. Olen juhtinud suuri meeskondi ja muutusi eri riikides. Aitan juhtidel luua selgust, kasvada ja juhtida keerukust — nii, et otsused on julged ja mõju päriselt tuntav.

I am a Coach who helps you truly resolve issues or discover turning points that move you forward. I like to dive deeper and discuss things as they really are, without embellishment. My goal is to help you see things from different angles, because I believe that a person can go as far as they can see, and when they arrive, they can see further. Every person knows best what they want to do or decide in any given situation. Sometimes you need to search a bit to find that knowledge within yourself and reach a decision, which in turn leads to action. A decision is only the beginning of action. My life experience so far has given me a strong foundation to ask questions that help you reach your desired destination. I have been involved in managing people and processes for over 19 years. I have worked with various teams, both small and large, and experienced business growth and crisis management. My experience includes several different companies, which has given me valuable insight into different organizational cultures and their impact on people's well-being and work capacity.

More than 15 years of leadership experience in international financial organizations has created in me a desire to support less experienced leaders on their journey. All to mutually inspire each other and grow together. Working with representatives of different nationalities has opened up different cultures to me and taught me to cope with them. Experience with pan-Baltic management models from four different organizations helps to cope with more complex cross-border models as well. Challenges during company sales or mergers are also familiar. You can contact me at: pille.parind@gmail.com
