The key to Executive Coaching or Mentoring is the impartial non-aligned support of the MentorCoach, assuring confidentiality and objectivity towards the participant and the organisation.

Mentoring is a Management tool that can be used as a part of the on-going developmental processes in the organization.

Executive Coaching addresses issues that Senior Executives deal with in their day to day work-life; leadership skills, aligning attitudes & behaviour to the culture of the organisation and your responsibilities, subordinate development, team building, succession planning, to name a few.

External Mentoring, can be used as either a formal mentoring program or informal relationship. The focus is on the individual; career and support for personal growth and maturity. The sessions are not driven with any set goal or objectives; the flow of the meetings is driven by the needs of the participant.

Coaching is provided on a one-to-one or in small groups. Coaching in some ways is the hands-on application of mentoring, it is an activity which is job-focused and performance oriented. Therefore, each session has a goal or objective to be achieved; to reinforce or change skills and behaviour or traits.

Professional coaches are trained to listen and observe, to customize their approach to the individual client's needs, and to elicit solutions and strategies from the client.

While the coach provides feedback and an objective perspective, the participant is responsible for taking the steps to produce the results he or she desires.
