“Business Mentoring – Add It To Business Coaching For A Powerful Combination”
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group ™
In today’s competitive and challenging business world, everyone looks for an edge, an advantage over the competition. In many cases, business people look to business mentoring or business coaching to give them a competitive advantage. But, I ask the question of why choose one or the other when you can choose and use both! The combination of business mentoring and business coaching provides some very awesome power to those who use both.
Yes, I know I am reading minds of the readers of this article and they are asking what is the difference between mentoring and coaching? One of the major differentiations is the focus of the effort. Business mentoring focuses on the individual, his or her career, and growth and maturity, while business coaching focuses on performance and development of specific skills. In addition, business mentoring does not necessarily have a specific agenda, while business coaching will involve much time spent on specific goals and objectives.
Business mentoring provides benefits such as a sounding board for the protégé to use and be able to pick and choose from the advice received. It also presents an opportunity to learn from others’ errors and successes and is often free through such organizations as SCORE (Service Corps Of Retired Executives) and others. A business mentor also brings a network of contacts of higher-level decision makers that could be a very valuable asset to the protégé.
A business mentor, in the broadest sense, will be someone who takes a special interest in helping you develop into a successful business professional. He or she will share his or her life experiences, wisdom and specific technical and professional expertise and the business mentor will also grow personally from being exposed to new ideas and perspectives of the protégé. There are many potential rewards from business mentoring and the risks are low to zero.
Business mentoring and business coaching is not the same thing and in combination provides an awesome advantage to anyone who enjoys a positive relationship with both. I encourage you to use both to help you become the best that you can be at whatever you do in business.
Would you like to learn more about the power of the combination of business mentoring and business coaching and how to use this awesome power? If you say YES, please contact Glenn Ebersole through his website at www.businesscoach4u.com or email Glenn at jgecoach@aol.com
