coaching and mentoring

What is the difference?

Mentoring is the long term passing on of support, guidance and advice where an experienced individual helps and supports a less knowledgeable or experienced person. This could be called passing on the ‘tricks of the trade’.

Coaching on the other hand, is focussed on developing a person’s skills, knowledge and capability so that their own job performance improves leading to the achievement or enhancement of personal and/or business objectives.

Therefore Mentoring could provide you with long term career and business development, whilst Coaching could provide you with real and immediate support to deal with a particular personal or business development issue.

The key requirement is the establishment and maintenance of trust.

A ‘trusting relationship’ between you and your mentor or coach, within which you are willing to explore, develop and experiment, is vital.

Meeting the needs of both business and individuals, we can provide highly experienced and professional mentors or accredited coaches to help maximise your business opportunities and challenges.
