MENTORING

Coaching and mentoring are very similar, and that there is a general agreement that a mentor helps someone to learn and develop faster than they would otherwise do so. Mentoring tends to focus on the future, and broader skills for personal or career development, whereas a coaching relationship tends to focus on here-and-now problems.

Roles of a mentoring

In 2004, David Clutterbuck, an academic who studied mentoring relationships, coined an acronym for what mentors do:

A mentor can take on several different roles in the course of a mentoring relationship, depending on the requirements of the learner.

The Benefits of Mentoring

Opportunity to explore their learning and benefit from someone else’s focus and expertise either in a particular subject or in supporting the learning process.
Learning and development can often get pushed to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list when we’re busy, and a mentoring relationship brings it forward again, not least because of the need to prepare for and then attend a mentoring session.
The sessions are focused towards individual requirements as they happen one – on – one.
