Coaching and mentoring are very similar, apart from coaching is short term training and mentoring is more long term based. I have devised a table to show the difference between coaching and mentoring.
Coaching
Mentoring Working relationship generally has a set duration
The working relationship is ongoing and can last for a long period of time
Short term and based on specific training schedules
Is more long term and looks more at the person as a whole not just their training
The person coaching does not need to have a firsthand knowledge of the individual’s job role.
The mentor is usually very experienced and sometimes a senior member of staff within the job role
Coaching is more focused on specific training and skills.
Is more focused on carers and personal development
Coaching is more based on development and work issues.
Mentoring revolves mainly around developing the mentee professionally.
