It was a shock for me. In this article, I will be covering:

Basic definition of mentoring and Coaching
What Is Coaching?
To begin, coaching is a form of consulting, and is a new and rapidly growing profession, particularly, the area of personal development coaches. Coaches will identify strengths Minnesota Vikings Jersey , weaknesses, goals, and needs, typically through a series of prearranged sessions over a month. In the words of Bentley, the four core elements of the coaching process are support, modeling, step-by-step development, and encouragement.
The key is it is a way to give employees instruction on how they can better use the skills and expertise they already have more effectively.
Coaching assists in "improving or developing performance".
The coaching process focuses more on eliciting information, asking questions Christian Wilkins Jersey , and focusing on details, than about telling people what to do. Coaches may be managers within the system, and the best coach is most likely your own boss.
What Is Mentoring?
In Ancient Greece, Odysseus entrusted the education of his son, Telemachus, to a trusted counsellor and friend. This trusted and wise friend, Mentor, reportedly became the counsellor, guide Dan Marino Jersey , tutor, and coach, sponsor and mentor for his prot?g?, Telemachus. (Hunt & Michael 1983).
David Clutterbuck (1996) defines mentoring as ?offline help by one person to another in making significant transitions in knowledge, work or thinking?.
Put at its simplest the Mentor is there to help the Mentee to learn. Much of the learning is enabled by the Mentor guiding the Mentee into learning situations and then helping them to reflect on and consolidate the learning.
To put in a more professional manner, Mentoring is a process of aiding another with transitions; it is about one person helping another (Megginson 1995,14).
It involves one person, the mentor, helping another person or mentee to reach his or her goals Miami Dolphins Jersey , through coaching, counselling, guidance, sponsoring, and the parlaying of knowledge (Stueart 1993,144).
Mentoring is usually "a three-way beneficial process," which helps the mentor, the mentee, and the organization (Stueart 1993 Cory Littleton Jersey ,144).
The primary function of a mentoring relationship is to further the career of the mentee, but the person being mentored is not the only one who benefits from the relationship.
Specific goals that can be achieved through the mentoring process include
Advancement of employees' careers,
Solidification of relationships between managers and staff,
A deepening of the commitment to the goals and values of an organisation, and
The development of personal connections
The key to mentoring is to closely link it to the mission, goals, and priority strategies of the organisation. Only an integrated, facilitated process, which is linked Robert Woods Jersey , to current and future mission or business imperatives can be expected to stand the buffeting of the winds of change. Of course, mentoring must be monitored and tracked to measure its impact (Murray 1995).
DifferencesSimilarities between Coaching and Mentoring
Mentoring has had a long history with its roots stretching back to the 8th century B.C. where it got its name from the elderly friend and counsellor of Odysseus, named Mentor, who also offered guidance and acted as tutor to Odysseus' son Telemachus. It continued to be the basis on which commerce, craft, and art was carried on from ancient times until the inception of capitalism. Coaching, on the other hand, has only been around for the last few decades, and has only received great attention in the 1990s (North 1997 Jared Goff Jersey ,206). Mentors can perform similar functions as a coach, but is usually someone who works within the same facility, whereas coaches are more often from outside the organisation, but not always (Judge 1997,72).
Both coaching and mentoring are great opportunities for learning, which use "effective questioning that brings insight, which fuels curiosity, which cultivates wisdom". Asking questions, rather than telling or ordering is the fundamental component John Johnson III Jersey , which brings the processes of mentoring and coaching together. This implies, of course, that you must be an excellent listener and communicator.
However, they are very different concepts. Mentoring encompasses coaching, but it also focuses on the individual, his or her performance, within a context of objectives. Mentoring is unique "in that it does not exclude other methods, but exists alongside them, complementing them and adding value"
The differences between mentoring and coaching are as follows:
"Coaching [is] taking someone through the experiential learning cycle in a systematic way with the intention of improving the capability to apply specific skills or deal with problematic situations.
Mentoring [is] assigning a respected and competent individual (other than the direct boss) to provide guidance and advice in order to help someone cope with and grow in the job".
Coaches focus on a specific set of problems Cooper Kupp Jersey , or the "results of the job," exploring s
