Coaching and mentoring is a form of one-to-one professional development that is designed to help people achieve their desired goals. Coaches and mentors use techniques to help you change your habits, take productive actions, or improve your skills.
The difference between coaching and mentoring is not always clear. It’s generally agreed that while mentors are more senior in their position, coach focus on a specific skill or action that needs improvement. The key differentiator is that coaching focuses on the present moment, whereas mentoring focuses on the future by developing your skills over time.
