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.
