"Mentoring is very much an education buzz word,
but it is not a modern day invention. Greek
mythology tells the story of Mentor, an alias of Athena the goddess of wisdom, who was charged
by Ulysses to raise his son Telemachus. In doing
this, Mentor gave his name to the traditional relationship of an older, wiser master taking a
younger
protege ́under their wing.
... mentoring (is) a ‘relationship between equals’ formed as part of a developmental alliance which allows one or both parties to develop through increased self-awareness. The phrase developmental alliance alludes to a long-term relationship rather than one focused on short-term problem solving.

The take home message of mentoring is that it
is an off-line relationship where one person helps
another making a significant transition in their
careers."
