The concept of mentoring comes from the ancient Greek word “mentor“, which means teacher, trainer. An experienced mentor is someone who shares his “know-how”with the mentee and transfers any relevant knowledge that can benefit them when dealing with life or career issues. This relationship is facilitated by a specific mentoring agenda that includes several processes, usually initiated by the mentor, in order to lead or at least bring the mentee close to achieving personal and/or professional expectations. It is about motivating and empowering a growing person to identify and reach their goals. The mentoring process isan empirical, almost “parental” relationship built through the empowerment of a person through the exchange of wisdom and knowledge

Both concepts concern ways of developing people and are used as tools to increase efficiency. However, they are characterized by differences:

Mentoring is essential for anyone who needs to find ways to make decisions that they will be confident about in the future. You can benefit from the experience of a mentor sharing life lessons with you, your family or your co-workers that will guide you to understand how to avoid mistakes and how to take a step further with yourself and those around you by self-revealing your potential.
