Guidance refers to the process of advising, directing, or influencing the behavior or conduct of others, often with the aim of helping them make informed decisions or achieve specific goals. It can be provided in various contexts, including education, career development, personal growth, and spiritual or moral development. In Hebrew, guidance is translated as הדרכה (hadracha). In Spanish, it is orientación, in French orientation, and in German Leitfaden or Beratung. Key aspects of guidance include the provision of information, advice, and support, often tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of the person receiving it. Effective guidance typically requires a combination of expertise, empathy, and communication skills, and it can be formal or informal, structured or unstructured, depending on the context and the relationship between the guide and the recipient.
