Coaching is a personalised process aimed at helping individuals achieve specific goals and maximise their potential. It involves a trained coach who facilitates self-discovery and growth through goal-oriented conversations. Coaching can be used for personal development, career advancement, leadership improvement, and various life transitions. Its benefits include increased self-awareness, enhanced performance, improved communication, and empowerment to take control of one's life.
Mentoring
Mentoring is a professional relationship in which an experienced individual (mentor) provides guidance, support, and knowledge to a less-experienced person (mentee). It typically involves sharing expertise, advice, and insights to help the mentee develop skills, knowledge, and personal growth. Mentoring is commonly used for career development, where mentors assist mentees in setting and achieving career goals, navigating workplace challenges, and gaining industry-specific knowledge. It can also be employed for personal growth, entrepreneurship, leadership development, and skill enhancement, fostering a dynamic exchange of wisdom and experience between mentor and mentee.
Many mentoring and coaching relationships are now conducted virtually and our platform can facilitate this. Virtual mentoring and coaching makes use of online resources which include video, email & phone. This is a great way to match the right mentor with a mentee when geographically separated or when conflicting schedules make it difficult to meet face-to-face.
It's ideal when you have many individuals who work remotely, in different locations, and need to build connections and access support. That's why PLD's mentoring and coaching platform is designed to easily facilitate long distance, remote, virtual mentoring and coaching.
Diversity mentoring focuses on a particular identity group, such as women, minorities, or individuals that identify asLGBTQ+.
PLD's mentoring platform is designed to facilitate Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) by helping mentees connect with mentors who share their experiences and can provide them with support and guidance.
Peer-to Peer mentoring enables individuals working at a similar job level or career stage, even if in a different function or industry, to connect for:
Peer to Peer mentoring brings individuals together who face similar challenges. They relate to each other's strains and obstacles. When participants offer advice and learn from each other in a positive and productive way, collaborative learning, problem-solving, and teamwork are promoted. Results are elevated.
Onboarding/Returners mentoring supports returning or newly joining individuals. Recruiting new staff can be costly. That's why it makes good sense to provide mentoring support to ease new and returning employees into their roles. Mentors provide that support needed to get mentees up to speed on everything from company culture to proprietary functions as quickly as possible.
This helps ensure engagement AND significantly improves retention. The best type(s) of mentoring for your organisation will depend on your individual needs and goals. To find out if mentoring software is right for your organisation, take our quick 3 minute quiz or book a free demo.
