Coaching is generally not performed on the basis that coach needs to have direct experience of their coachee’s formal occupational role, unless the coaching is specific and skills-focused
|
The Mentor is usually more experienced and qualified than the ‘mentee’. Often more senior or with greater years of experience who can pass on knowledge, experience and open doors to otherwise out-of-reach opportunities

Focus is on career and personal development
|
