Originally, mentoring or mentorship was rooted in the corporate world. According to the Business Dictionary, a more experienced (often mature) person, called a mentor, would be assigned to serve as an advisor or guide to a junior or trainee, called a mentee. A mentor would then be responsible for offering help and feedback to the person under their supervision. As such, a mentor’s role is to use their personal experience to help someone less experienced within a specific area by offering directions, advice and support. 

The often long-term relationship between a mentor and a mentee is built on trust, respect, and communication. A mentor’s advice is often based on solid personal experience in a specific area, including education, business, career, or Personal Development.

At Ramsahai Wellbeing, our mentoring service is rooted in personal Development & growth, spanning three decades. 

The UK College of Personal Development (UKCPD) defines personal development ‘as a process that can enable deep, positive, and lasting change to how we see ourselves and the world. When you engage in activities that grow your skills, knowledge, and confidence, you can realise your capabilities, unleash your potential, and achieve your goals’. 

Furthermore, Personal Development is the process of consciously pursuing personal growth by expanding our self-awareness, knowledge, and skills in many areas of life. It is a lifelong process in which we can use various tools, such as self-help books, retreats, holistic therapies, studies, etc., to help us grow and become more and more actualised in life. Personal Development is very personal and subjective to each individual, as we are unique beings seeking unique ways to further ourselves in body, mind and soul.
