It's important to be aware of and understand the differences between them
Mentoring and Coaching are two approaches used to support and guide individuals with their personal and professional development but they differ in several key ways.
Coaching
Coaching is a pull strategy, pulling out the answers to well-structured questions, we don't give advice, it is a goal-oriented approach to personal and professional development. A coach works with individuals to identify specific goals and to create a plan of action to achieve those goals
