coaching and mentoring

In general, Coaching is the process of helping people and teams  to perform at the peak of their abilities. It involves drawing out people’s strengths, helping them to bypass personal barriers and limits in order to achieve their personal best, and facilitating them to function more effectively as members of a team. Thus, effective coaching requires an emphasis on both task and relationship. Coaching emphasizes generative change, concentrating on defining and achieving specific goals.

Coaching methodologies are outcome-oriented rather than problem-oriented. They tend to be highly solution focused, promoting the development of new strategies for thinking and acting, as opposed to trying to resolve problems and past conflicts. 

Mentoring

Life is sometimes like walking. One moment you in are in equilibrium and in the next moment you have to leave this comfortable balanced condition to make your next step in order to move on.

In such moments of transition, when we are about to make false steps or when we feel that we dont make progress an encounter/meeting with somebody who is equal but unequal at the same time; somebody who is there to share, who will give orientation and and a solution at the same time.

Mentoring – from the Greek word meaning enduring – is defined as a sustained relationship between an apprentice 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.
