Coaching and Mentoring

Commonly interchanged, coaching and mentoring is easily perceived as the same thing, especially as they can use the same skills and approach.  They are in fact different and offer a different outcome, both worthy of consideration in the workplace.

Coaching is centred around a task with set goals, and therefore is typically short term and performance driven.  It is useful for both projects or objectives, and for building confidence.

Mentoring is about guiding the person with knowledge and experience, and by sharing expertise; always with the development of the individual as the end goal.  The mentoring process is therefore over a longer period of time, and quite specific to the role or situation you want development in.

A skilled coach or mentor is an invaluable asset to any business. They need a very specific set of skills, including high level communication skills, understanding of emotional intelligence and supervised coaching experience.

Both coaching and mentoring are built on a trusted and confidential relationship.
