Coaching vs Mentoring

In this video, you will learn the difference between Coaching and Mentoring.

# Points in Common
Coaching and Mentoring are used to nurture employees' skills and achieve business objectives.

Both are used to challenge and help individuals change the way they work, identify and solve problems, make decisions, overcome obstacles, and implement change.

HOWEVER…
There are 6 fundamental differences between coaching vs mentoring:

1. FOCUS

Coaching is mainly concerned with developing skills and strategies to achieve shorter-term performance objectives.

Mentoring focuses on personal growth and the continuous improvement of an individual's capability and potential.

2. FUNCTION
Coaching is to help an individual achieve specific objectives.

Mentoring is to develop mentees to a point where they can make mature and intelligent career decisions for themselves.

3. RELATIONSHIP

In a coaching, the coachee is usually assigned to the coach, who assumes the responsibility for improving performance.

In mentoring, the mentee often chooses the mentor.

4. AUTHORITY
The coach is generally in authority and is in charge of managing the objectives to be achieved.

A mentor is more highly ranked within the organization's
business hierarchy but authority is tempered.

5. REWARD
A coach's rewards are usually the form of value from the coachee's improved job performance. Coaches don't usually expect to learn from their coachees.

Mentoring is a more reciprocal relationship. Both the mentor and mentee learn from each other and grow professionally.

6. AREA OF ACTIVITY
Organizations use coaching when employees need help to achieve specific objectives or perform given tasks.

Organizations use mentoring for broader purposes, such as developing managerial talent.

Mentors are experts in a field and can provide input on specific areas. Coaches do not need to know the industry, but are there to support personal development at the coachees request

[DrSuzanneDoyleMorrisinclusiq]

Very clever graphics! It's a subject that I explain to all my clients! Both coaches AND mentors are valuable for helping you to progress your career!

[JohanIrwanKamarozaman]

I found it is a little bit misleading. The creator of this video might not really understand what coaching and mentoring are.

[CazKing]

Great graphics and good information but I thought the video was going way too fast

[laurieedmondson]

This has it the opposite of what coaching and mentoring really are!

[stevecarter]

Putting in my lot with the "hmm, this is wrong" team

[thanakritsuwan]

Mentor is no price in course but Coaching collect money in course.

[JOLLYROGE]

Best option would be a combination of both coaching and mentoring.

[cpearse]

This is the wrong way around. You've confused Coaches and Mentors!

[katryan]

The graphics are good but there's too much going on in this video to actually learn anything. I found it too much and would prefer a much simpler example.

[tomthumb]

If I want to read it, I’ll get a book

[AndrewLowCoach]

Hmmm, IMHO, it's the other way around! :)

[grahambrown]

This could be useful but is annoyingly to fast to obsorb and requires endless pauses and rewinds. Just add some pauses between each section. Think about your audience.

[LeadershipCoachingFromNatHeys]

I am sorry, but that's not quite right. As an ICF Coach, I am certainly not the authority nor in charge of my Coachee

[olgitaapryshkina]

this is really wrong...please assess what your skills and knowledge is in this matter
