What are coaching and mentoring?

​

It is all about helping another person achieve their personal or professional goals. In short, coaching and mentoring help people make profound and lasting impacts in their lives by challenging them to unlock their true potential. Since businesses are led by individuals and teams, these types of positive changes reflect improved business outcomes.   

 Coaching and mentoring were once considered luxury items, but according to a recent study, “The long-term independently assessed benefits of coaching: A controlled 18-month follow-up study of two methods”, participants who were coached performed 10% better than their non-coached counterparts, and study also showed there were both short and long-term benefits the coached participants received.

​

How can coaching help you?  Well, it can provide:

• Strategic and process planning for the growth, sustainability, and efficiency of your business

• Insight into defining long and short-term business goals

• Professional advice designed to help overcome blind spots

• Accountability for goal reaching in your organization

 

These can lead to the following benefits

• Greater self-awareness and a positive mindset

• Clarity on what success looks like and the steps needed to achieve it

• Development of critical soft skills and decision making

• Increased individual performance, productivity, and confidence

 

Of course, the success of coaching and mentoring depends on the expressed desired outcomes for each engagement and the participant’s willingness to receive challenging insights.
