Mentoring is not just the transfer of knowledge. It’s a relationship in which a more experienced person supports another in development – professionally, personally or educationally. If you are wondering how to be a mentor who can listen and actively support, you are in the right place! In this article you’ll find specific tips to […]
Mentoring is based primarily on the relationship between Mentor and Mentee. In order for this relationship to fulfill its purpose, the couple should establish its principles at the very beginning of the process. This is the role of the mentoring contract. In this article I will take a closer look at what a contract is in the mentoring process, why it is worth having one and what it should contain.
Mentoring has many advantages and great benefits for everyone – for Mentees, for Mentors and Mentors, for the organization. Development of specialized skills, soft skills, relationship building, improved well-being and job satisfaction leadership development in the organization are just some of them. But like all forms of development, mentoring also has its limitations. One of them is price – the cost of mentoring. In this article I will try to answer the question of how much mentoring costs. I will mainly touch on the perspective of Mentees, although there will be something for Mentors and organizers as well.
In a previous blog article, I touched on the most common questions related to mentoring. This time I decided to take a closer look at a few selected questions by providing answers in a more comprehensive manner.
Mentoring is often compared to coaching. Not surprisingly, both forms of development have many elements in common. And in a similar way – the role of the Mentor is compared to that of the Coach.

Mentoring as a development process has its own definition and assumptions. This definition defines the formula for the relationship between Mentor and Mentee and the aims and objectives of the whole process. In this respect, it is specific enough.
However, there are a number of flexible areas in which individual mentoring programmes may differ, and within these differences we can try to define the types of mentoring.
In this article, we will take a close look at the phenomenon of mentoring, starting with its definition and etymology, to concrete examples and benefits of its practical application. We will find out exactly what mentoring is, what purposes it can serve and the various ways in which it can be implemented in today’s world, which is becoming more complex and demanding every day.
Internal mentoring programmes are cyclical, time-limited processes in which mentoring pairs are created between employees of an organisation. Their implementation in companies solves many problems. Among other things, it builds relationships, gives a sense of belonging to a team, not to mention, of course, development – and that of both Mentees and Mentors.
