Coaching and Mentoring are often referred to together as one method for personal development support. There are some similarities between the two, but also some differences. Coaching is so important because it helps build trust and shows your interest and concern for people as well as your organisation. Done well, coaching can also enhance potential – a good coach recognises people’s abilities and focuses on developing their skills.
How effective your mentoring program is entirely dependent on the participants you recruit. Mentoring within an organisation is becoming increasingly significant with 67% of businesses reporting an increase in productivity and 55% stating an increase in profits due to mentoring programs. Starting a program within your company is the start of truly exciting times ahead and a chance for real transformation.
PushFar provides a wealth of mentoring, coaching and learning resources, alongside our software, to help both participants and program managers to make the most of mentoring and coaching programs. On our mentoring platform we also include training videos and regularly host mentoring training webinars.
Have you ever thought about becoming a professional mentor? The reality is that we learn through our mistakes and if we can learn from others' mistakes, then that can help us to grow even more. Imagine if, when we had the odd question, concern or confusion in our professional life, we could turn to someone who's been there before and knows exactly what (or what not) to do?
