Sorry Cajetan, I'm currently doing the "Effective Coaching" path and as an external qualified & experienced Coach, I totally disagree with the Toastmasters (and your) description of what coaching is. The description is backwards - Coaching is about Active Listening, Encouraging, Asking Clarification Questions & making Suggestion (with permission). The basis for effective coaching is that the person involved already has the required solution but needs help in order to see it clearly. A coach does not need to be a Subject Matter Expert, unlike a Mentor (who guides based on knowledge & skills already gained. That why in clubs we have Pathways Mentors (to guide new members) and not Pathways Coaches. Someday soon, I hope, the responsible people in T.I. will cop-on to this terrible mistake they have made with the "Effective Coaching" path.

Hi Tom..I tend to agree with you. I've had this discussion in our Executive MBA program with our Professor where it was presented the other way round (especially in a corporate environment) where a Coach is essentially what is described as Mentor in Pathways. Since Pathways is designed with the corporate world in mind, I hope they align these concepts.

I am new to this world. In sports like tennis, a player has an everyday coach, who has the skills and experience. Typically they older or professionally-non-active sports people. I never heard of a Tennis Mentor, but surely these folks have (in the background) some idol/mentor whom they regularly consult. Similarly, in the Corp World, employees are sent for skill development classes. And they have some senior manager (non reporting) who is assigned for Mentoring/Counselling. May be the terms are being used incorrectly ? Is it possible to be a Mentor n a Coach at the same time ? Pros n Cons ?
