Coaching or Mentoring?

Coaching and mentoring are both vital components of professional and personal development.
They are different and can work in a complementary way.
Both differ from counseling in that their primary focus is not to resolve personal problems or issues of personal well-being in a therapeutic way.

Coaching focuses upon specific goals and helps individuals identify ways forward through structured sessions, often over a short time scale.

Mentoring is normally more informal and is often provided by senior staff, peers or experts and can be more wide ranging in its focus with longer-term relationships.
