Mentor Vs Coach

By; Admin

Are You wondering, “what’s the difference between a mentor and a coach?” People often use these words interchangeably, but they truly are not the same. Here are the differences:

A coach:

• Focuses on the performance with a specific agenda

• Is often “assigned” to you through your position in an organization

• Their influence is determined by the position they hold
• Is very task oriented
• Tells you what you need to do

• Rewards are in teamwork and performance

You are looking for a coach if you want someone to show you exactly what to do and how to do it.

A mentor:

• Focuses on the individual without a specific predetermined agenda
• Is most frequently selected by the individual seeking a mentor
• Their influence is determined by the value you place on them

• Provide you with the environment for learning, finding better ways for yourself, and affirmations

• Guides and assists you in your personal growth
• Offers support, advise, and suggestions
• Asks you questions so you may dig deeper into yourself

• Rewards are in your LIFE

You are looking for a mentor if you want someone to help you to develop yourself, both personally and professionally.
