Coaching & Mentoring

What is the Difference between Coaching and Mentoring?

Coaching

is focused on an organisation’s key assets – its people – both as individuals and as team members. A coach works with you, using your own agenda to enable you to break through to new thinking. The coach uses specialist techniques to unleash your internal potential and helps you identify your ‘toolbox’ to better tackle the world. Unlike training or mentoring, which both teach people ‘how to do things better’, coaching supports the process of finding your own solution. Most senior professionals in business today know the value of their coach, and wouldn’t be able to negotiate the “bumps in the road” so skillfully without them.

Mentoring

is external guidance and advice from a senior level source, usually with more “stripes” in a similar sector. A mentor suggests how you hone your business skills and performance, offers solutions and gives analysis and input on how to improve your business acumen. A mentor will bring their own substantial career track record and contact book to the table and will use them to confer with clients when discussing good business strategy and practice.

We could details pages of examples and recommendations from our work on the above three subsets of coaching.  Our work has branched out from working with individuals in their personal development to working with with startups, scale ups and larger businesses in their team and people development objectives.
