Having been mentored myself, and having mentored a great many others over the years both formally and informally, I have always been conscious of the value of mentoring. When I received some executive coaching and subsequently added coaching qualifications to my own repertoire a few years ago, I became equally conscious that the two disciplines are often muddled and confused by many.
In this thematic episode, I aim to provide some guidance both to those looking for coaching and mentoring and to those who provide it. The thoughts are my own but heavily drawn from a plethora of conversations I have had with others over many years now.
I believe it extremely important to be aware of the difference between coaching and mentoring and, although blurring of the two can be done intentionally, there are too many that provide mentoring, but think that they are providing coaching. Both have their place and are highly beneficial to the recipients but, as with all things, clarity about what you expect from the process is very important. I hope that my thoughts will help in that respect.
