What is the difference between mentoring and coaching?
Mentoring is a part of the overall process of coaching. Coaching is a partnership between the participant (adolescent or adult), their family, and the Coach. While the mentor is seen as the guide, a coach not only wants to guide, but has an overall goal to empower.
Education
During Orientation, we educate on Positive Communications, Coping Skills, Stress Management, and Solutions Training. When the participant (adolescent or adult) change their beliefs, they change their habits, and they become more successful in school and life.
Strategy Development
We use our step-by-step Problem Solving Strategy to assist the family by helping the participant identify the beliefs that are holding them back, change their perspectives, and create new solutions to overcome present crisis. After finding a workable solution, we facilitate the process of creating a systematic life plan based on the participants educational, social, and professional goals.
Ongoing Support
Our coaches ensure the families are able to solve new challenges by using all the skills and strategies they learned during Family/Individual Empowerment Day. Through weekly phone calls and prearranged meetings, we look at triumphs and challenges to find ways to work through these difficult situations to promote accountability, motivation, commitment, and success based on the participant’s life plan.
