What is coaching?
Coaching is a conversation-based approach to moving someone from where they are to where they want to be.
Coaching creates clarity of purpose and direction, challenges limiting beliefs and self-talk, and encourages clients to move towards successful resolution of their issues, challenges and opportunities.
What is mentoring?
Mentoring is a relationship in which a more experienced colleague shares their greater knowledge to support the development of an inexperienced individual. It calls on the skills of questioning, listening, clarifying and reframing that are associated with coaching.
Differences between coaching and mentoring
Mentoring:
- Required experience and knowledge in the area being mentored
- Often uses advice and knowledge sharing
- Usually related to a profession
Coaching:
- Doesn't require any experience or knowledge of the area being coached
- Non-advisory (although there may be times that advice is appropriate)
- Not profession specific
