The fact is there’s a clear distinction between mentoring and coaching.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote class="posterous_medium_quote"&gt;Coach: A coach is an expert on people, personal development and is typically a skilled specialist regarding a certain topic, competency or industry. A coach’s role is to provide the structure, foundation and support so you can begin to self-generate the results you want. Learning and growth is achieved by both parties involved. In coaching, the relationship is the objective and the focus is not only on what the person needs to do to become more successful, but also is on who the person is and how they think. A coach works on the whole person and is multidimensional. The coaching relationship is built on choice rather than necessity.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Mentor: A mentor is an expert in a field, industry or at a company and typically acts as an internal advisor. Usually this is done on a professional level to advance the person in their career. Often mentor have their own approach already in mind and mentors use the system that they know and have worked for them, without taking into consideration the style, values, integrity or strengths of the person they are mentoring. The mentor may also have something to gain professionally and, as such, has a personal agenda or something to gain from the mentoring relationship. Often, there is no training to be a mentor and their guidance is based more on their experience rather than the skills or proficiencies which are needed to become a coach. Often, the mentoring relationship is need-driven rather than driven by choice.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;blockquote class="posterous_short_quote"&gt;From: Coaching Salespeople Into Sales Champions © 2007 Keith Rosen&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3470947645231008290-3580534759981923513?l=mysalescoaching.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mysalescoaching.blogspot.com/feeds/3580534759981923513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mysalescoaching.blogspot.com/2010/09/coaching-versus-mentoring.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3470947645231008290/posts/default/3580534759981923513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3470947645231008290/posts/default/3580534759981923513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mysalescoaching.blogspot.com/2010/09/coaching-versus-mentoring.html' title='Coaching versus Mentoring'/><author><name>AussieSalesGuy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17884103457390631657</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eQTa4qGFSEY/SMIc6V5Ch9I/AAAAAAAAAAQ/athDCHE7XWI/S220/GregPic44c.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470947645231008290.post-4643891755248764881</id><published>2010-09-20T18:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-20T18:27:33.112-07:00</updated><title type='text'>First and foremost, no matter what it says, business doesn’t really demand the most from sales professionals .</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;This post compares sports coaching to &lt;a href="http://www.salescoaching.biz/"&gt;sales coaching&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px;
