Coaching & Mentoring
My service is to offer you protected time with an objective person who will listen, understand, challenge and help you set goals and achieve your targets. This can be divided into coaching and mentoring.
Coaching is non-directive and aimed at helping you decide on your own goals and find you own solutions.
Mentoring is more directive, and a mentor is likely to have more specific knowledge and experience of a specific job or occupation. They can help you to make decisions and set goals, and may also offer specific training.
