What's the difference between mentoring and coaching?

Mentoring is a relationship-oriented dynamic where experienced professionals (mentors) guide and share their knowledge with less-experienced individuals (mentees). It focuses on overall career development, providing insights, advice, and a broader perspective. Coaching is task-oriented and aims to enhance specific skills and achieve targeted goals. Coaches work with individuals to identify areas for improvement, set objectives, and provide guidance to reach those goals. It's often more structured and goal-focused.

We recommend having mentoring sessions on a fortnightly to monthly basis to ensure a balance between consistent support and giving you enough time to apply learnings. However, the frequency can be tailored to your needs and schedule, ensuring a flexible and effective mentorship experience.
