What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is not new. On the contrary, the term "mentor" originates from Greek mythology. The practice of mentoring even dates back to earlier times. In recent years there has been a remarkable rise of interest in mentoring. Mentoring relationships are valued as a very powerful means to longer-term personal development in a business environment.
