Mentoring OR Coaching – what’s the difference?
Would you prefer to engage someone who has REAL experience or learned the theory?
In our experience Mentoring is much more powerful than Coaching for one key reason – Mentors are people who have lived and continue to live the stuff they work with whilst many so called Business Coaches have simply paid a fee to learn a ‘coaching system’ and who often have no real experience themselves.
The Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary provides the following descriptions…
Mentor n. – an experienced and trusted adviser
Coach n. – an instructor or trainer, a private tutor
We’re proud our clients see us as their trusted adviser. They say they appreciate how we work closely with them and we’ll do the same with YOU to provide the outcomes you require by listening to your issues, discussing alternative options and making suggestions (based on our experience) as to a direction we believe best suited to YOUR situation. The final decision however is always yours.
Do we provide Mentoring or Coaching?
Typically we provide a combination of both Mentoring AND Coaching – first by discussing and understanding your needs, Mentoring by advising and making suggestions based on our experience and Coaching by instructing/training you in the use of tools and processes we have available that are relevant to Transforming Your Business.
The difference is we only provide ideas, tools, templates and processes we (and most of our 1000+ clients) use ourselves and we know (through direct experience) work in small business environments like yours.
