Mentoring, coaching, or sponsoring? - Deepstash

Mentoring, coaching, or sponsoring?

Mentoring and coaching activities look similar, but the impetus is different. In mentoring relationships, usually the mentee sets the agenda. In a coaching relationship, usually the coach sets the agenda. Coaching also tends to be more formal and more transactional. (People hire coaches, not mentors.)

Sponsorship is very different. A sponsor uses their authority and influence to create opportunities and recognition to advance someone’s career.
