The authors present a thorough model. But, lo and behold, why do they even include the term “mentor”? Read the article again and everytime the word mentor appears, either take it out or replace it with the word coach.
This is the problem with the ICF’s approach to mentoring. It’s not aligned with any other viewpoint expressed by experts on mentoring. This model has little to do with mentoring and mostly to do with coaching. If the article makes just as much sense when the word mentor is removed, then the authors have really set up an unnecessary variant of coaches looking after their own professional development.
