What is Coaching and Mentoring?

Coaching – an interaction that focuses on enhancing knowledge and skill. It is a way of having powerful and meaningful conversations and interactions delivering sustainable change and growth.

Mentoring - from the Greek word meaning enduring - is defined as a sustained relationship between an employee and a trusted advisor. Through continued involvement, the mentor offers support, guidance, and leadership as the apprentice goes through a difficult period, faces new challenges, develops skills and grows. Mentoring is generally regarded as the transfer of experience.
