Coaching and mentoring are often confused to be the same thing. While they are similar, they are not exactly the same. A coach in the office is helping someone to learn a skill. This is the same as a football coach teaching a player how to improve his dribbling. A mentor has a higher goal for the person she is working with. The mentor isn’t seeking to merely have the employee get better at his job, she wants to help the employee move up the ranks of the company.<\/p>\n

She gives him insights about things over and above the employee’s job description, even bringing the mentee into meetings and appointments. The employee tends to work harder, seeing the opportunities opening in front of him. If the mentor is a good one, the employee becomes inspired by working with a high-level leader who he respects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to the\u00a0International Coach Federation, coaching is, \u201can interactive process to help individuals and organizations develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results; improving others\u2019 abilities to set goals, take action, make better decisions and make full use of their natural strengths.\u201d<\/p>\n

The individual receiving coaching is referred to as the client or coachee. Coaching is thus applied between two individuals where one has greater experience and expertise than the other and offers advice and guidance as the other goes through a learning process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\"\"<\/p>\n
