10 Minute presentation – Mentoring and Business Coaching.

What’s the difference between Mentoring and Coaching?

• Coaching: helping another person (or persons) to improve awareness; to set and achieve goals, in order to improve a particular behavioural performance
• Mentoring: helping to shape an individual’s beliefs and values in a positive way; often a longer-term career relationship with someone who has ‘done it before’
• Mentoring and Business Coaching applies to all areas of your business – Finance/Sales/Marketing/Operations/HR
• It applies to all levels – Owner/Director/Franchisee/Management/Teams/individuals
• It applies to any size of business – from one-man to large corporations

So what’s this Mentoring/Coaching about?

• It’s about taking your business from where it is at the moment, to where you want it to be
• It’s about streamlining your operations to minimise loss
• It’s about maximising profit
• It’s about future sustainability
• It’s about removing stress from your environment

What is the process?

• Together, the Vision, Goals and Purpose of the business are established clearly
• The differences between current situation and future requirements are analysed (customer requirements/cost-effective/skills/legal/timing/quality)
• Priorities are acted upon, and revisited
• Identify causes of poor performance – and rectify
• The process is monitored, and information fed back into the system to improve it (this is an ongoing process)
