Mentoring Like a Coach

What's the difference between mentoring and coaching? And what does it mean to mentor “like a coach?” Join YSM’s professionalism and leadership development team on Wednesday, March 4, at noon, as they host a Grand Rounds session exploring these questions and more. Daryn David, PhD, PCC, assistant professor, Child Study Center, will moderate a conversation with Maria LaMonaca Wisdom, PhD, PCC, assistant vice provost for faculty advancement at Duke University.

Together, they will provide an overview of six distinctive ways that a “coaching approach” can transform mentoring practices, mentoring relationships, and mentoring cultures to better support professional growth and wellness.

By the end of this Grand Rounds session, participants will better understand:

1. The fundamental mindsets of the coach approach
2. A range of behaviors they can adopt to bring coaching presence into mentoring
3. The utility of coaching for enhancing professional and workplace well-being.
