Leadership and Management Skills to Enhance Your Professional Role - LEAD-Do I Need a Coach or a Mentor? Both!

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The talk focuses on the history and importance of mentoring, referencing historical figures like Mentor from Homer's "Odyssey" and John Witherspoon. It highlights the phases of mentorship as outlined by Dr. Fred Agabini—early, mid, and lasting influences—and the qualities of a good mentor, such as placing relationships before programmatic mentoring, displaying optimism, and having experience. Mentorship is contrasted with coaching, which involves supporting forward action without predefined paths, as defined by the International Coaching Federation. Coaching is further distinguished from therapy, which addresses past traumas, and consulting, which solves specific organizational problems. The importance of coaching in medical education is noted, with coaching helping learners find the best path forward for themselves. The presentation concludes with practical steps for applying mentoring and coaching methodologies in a case study involving an APP trainee struggling in critical care, focusing on using specific mentoring and coaching approaches to support their development.
