Coaching and Mentoring
The Differences Between Coaching and Mentoring
It's understandable that you might think mentoring and coaching are similar or even the same thing. But they're not..
​
Mentoring is a partnership between two people and emphasises a mutuality of learning. However, mentoring is sometimes confused with coaching, teaching, or counselling.
In mentoring the learner sets their own goals.
Whereas the coach usually sets goals for the learner.
Coaching and mentoring use the same skills and approach but coaching is short term task-based and mentoring is a longer term relationship.
"A coach has some great questions for your answers; a mentor has some great answers for your questions."
