What is the difference between coaching and mentoring?

That is one of the most common questions when introducing mentoring into an organisation.

And it’s a question that Antoinette asks her guest, Mark McKergow in one of our “In Conversation with….” Webinars available on-demand.

Dr Mark McKergow has spent 30 years in the management and leadership development world. He loves to bring new ideas into the field, particularly those which:

  • Make ‘hard’ things easier, quicker, cheaper, more rewarding and more accessible
  • Use abilities and know-how people already have (and perhaps have not noticed yet)
  • Take a counter-intuitive or unexpected turn

His work in Brain Friendly learning, Solutions Focus, Host Leadership, are in use around the world. Mark has worked on every continent except Antarctica. He is the author of six books, including The Solutions Focus (with Paul Z Jackson), Host Leadership (with Helen Bailey) and Hosting Generative Change, and The Next Generation of Solution Focused Practice (Routledge, 2021).

He is also one of the creators of OSKAR, the solution-focused framework.

  • How the OSKAR framework originated – and how you can apply it to deepen mentoring conversations.
  • How to distinguish coaching from mentoring – and why that distinction matters for programme design and impact.
