What is mentoring?
Mentoring is in essence the transfer of knowledge, experience and skills. It is the passing-on of support, guidance and advice. Mentoring is a professional relationship in which an experienced person (the mentor) supports and encourages people to develop specific skills and knowledge that will maximise their business potential and improve their performance.
Mentoring is not new. On the contrary, the term ‘mentor’ originates from Greek Mythology. The practice of mentoring even dates back to earlier times. Today, mentoring relationships are valued as a very powerful means to longer-term personal development in a business environment.
