Landing on the right development strategy can be a struggle for L&D professionals. Should you utilize workshops? Self-directed courses? Classroom-style learning? Everything is an option, but not every development style should be treated the same way, especially if you use mentoring as a development tool.

Mentoring quite often gets conflated with regular teaching. When mentors and program administrators take that approach, they're not likely to get the same results --- or even the results they want.

In this video, you'll learn more about how teaching and mentoring differ and how to make sure your mentoring strategy fits properly with a mentoring program.

Key Quotes from "Teaching vs. Mentoring: What's the Difference?":

1. "While the mentor is the expert in the room, the goal isn't to simply deliver information. Instead, most mentoring relationships put the mentee in control of the desired outcome."
2. "Many teaching styles can be used very effectively in mentoring relationships. In fact, the Socratic method pairs perfectly with a mentoring relationship, whether formal or informal in a group setting or one-on-one"
3. "Commonly, however, mentoring relationships lead to sponsorships. The nature of the mentoring relationship is one in which the mentor oversees the independent growth of the mentee."
4. "Teaching and mentor relationships can both be life-changing, but for individuals hoping to truly advance in their career, having a sponsor within your organization can make all the difference."
