Coaching or Mentoring, what is right for me?

Coaching

• Coaching is task orientated​

• Coaching is short term with a specific task related goal

• Coaching is performance driven

• Coaching does not require design

An example of coaching would be if you need to develop a new skill to exceed but you are unsure on how to go about it. 

​

Mentoring

• Mentoring is relationship orientated

• Mentoring is long term where the goal may not be discovered for some time

• Mentoring is driven by development 

• Mentoring requires a design phase to establish the purpose of the mentoring

An example of mentoring ​would be if you or a group of people are seeking to develop their leadership and management skills so they are confident to take on their first position of responsibility.
