What is Coaching?
Coaching is a way to help you get from where you are, to where you want to be.
Coaching is one or a series of confidential conversations with a professional, that is entirely focused on you, specifically, on what you want to achieve, your current situation and how you can reach your goals. Coaching can therefore help you progress more quickly and/or effectively towards what you want. Importantly in the coaching relationship, you are the expert in your situation, so I will not solve your problems for you or give you answers.
As your coach, I will give you time where you can be entirely focused on yourself and what you want to achieve. I will support and guide you. I will help you to see and appreciate what strengths, skills and resources you have available to you to achieve what you want to. My sole focus during our conversation will be you and seeing you succeed.
What Makes Mentoring Different?Both coaches and mentors are focused on your successful future, they just use slightly different methods to do that. A mentor has experience in a specific area, in my case marketing, and can share their knowledge, experience as well as frameworks, methods/models and strategies to help you achieve your goals
As your mentor, I would therefore be more involved with the process of you achieving your goal. The responsibility is still yours, but as a mentor I can provide advice and experienced based guidance as you develop your own competence in the area. |
Importantly, as both coach and mentor, you can also expect confidentiality, ethical behaviour, openness, honesty and professionalism in each interaction. You will not be judged, I am here to support you, in a safe, open and appreciative way.
Please note that coaching and mentoring are not psychological counselling or any type of therapy.
