教练、引导者和辅导者的区别是什么?(译)

What is the difference between a coach, mentor and facilitator?

In a world where information is ubiquitous, there is an increased importance on the role of a mentor, coach, facilitator or guru (plus many other possible labels!). When experiential knowledge is becoming more crucial in the workplace and in the community in general, how do you draw the knowledge out of an experience so that it is useable?

在这个信息无所不在的世界里,辅导者、教练、引导者或者大师(还有其它可能的标签!)的角色作用越来越重要了。当经验知识在工作场所和社区中变得越来越重要的时候,你需要如何从经验中汲取知识并使之成为可用之物呢?

Many people are a little bit unsure what the difference is between these roles and so am I, quite honestly. This is an attempt to explore the difference between them from my experience of being in these different shoes and navigating the space for my own guidance also.

很多人有点不确定这些角色之间有什么区别,坦白来说,我也是。本文也是一个尝试,它将从我穿着这些不同的鞋子并按我自己的指引去探寻空间的过程中探索它们之间的区别。

(What I’m sharing is based entirely on my own experience in navigating the space and operating as a coach, mentor and facilitator to many people personally.)

(我所分享的内容完全是基于我自己在进行空间导览时作为教练、辅导者和引导者向很多人操作的亲身经验。)

I see there being two components to each of these relationships:

我认为这些关系中中的每一个都有两个组成部分:

  1. The ‘experience dynamic.’ 经验动态 This is looking at what level of experience in any given field is each person in the relationship coming from. Does one person have more experience in the field than the other?这就是看在这个关系中每个人在给定领域中的经验水平如何。一个是在该领域的经验是否比另一个人多?

  2. The ‘knowledge exchange dynamic.’ 知识交流动态 This is looking at how the knowledge is come to within the relationship. Is there one person teaching the other or is it a mutual partnership? 这就是看在关系中知识是如何产生的。是由一个人教授给另一个人,还是相互之间的伙伴关系?

Mentoring Relationships 辅导关系

I have had multiple mentors for separate purposes since I was 13. These were people that had extensive experience in something that I was pursuing or were in a position I wanted to be in. They had knowledge directly relative to where I am and want to be that they could share.

自我13岁开始,我就在不同的目标上有了不同的导师(辅导者)。对于我想追求的事情或者我想去的位置,这些人有丰富的经验。他们拥有我所在和想去的地方的直接和相关的知识,那些知识他们可以分享给我。

In my experience, ‘mentors’ had advice, tips and tricks that could be shared in a specific realm that meant I could learn from their mistakes and successes. This was more industry knowledge and knowledge directly relative to the ‘how to’ of something I was pursuing.

就我的经验而言,“辅导者”有在特定领域可以分享的建议、技巧和窍门,这意味着我可以从他们的失败和成功中学习。这是很多行业知识和与我所追求“如何才能”直接相关的知识。

Experience Dynamic = More than me Exchange Dynamic = Giving knowledge and advice

经验动态 = 比我丰富 交流动态 = 给予知识和建议

Coaching Relationships 教练关系

A coach in my experience is someone that whether they have been where you are going or not, they’re able to identify patterns, work with human behaviour and guide you to your own conclusions for your own scenario.

教练,根据我的经验,是一个无论他们是否去过你想要去的地方,他们都能够识别模式,配合人的行为模式,引导你在自己的场景里找出自己的结论。

They more so guide you through the process to have you come to your own understandings and knowledge. These people do have slight experience in your domain (whether it be business, media, the arts, etc) so that they are able to relate on a certain level.

他们更多的是引导你通过这个过程引导你,让你得出自己的理解和知识。这些人在你的领域(无论是商业、媒体、艺术等)仅有少量的经验,所以他们可能在某种程度上产生共鸣。

They really do believe that you have the answers within you and so prefer not to give you the answers but have you come up with them yourself.

他们真的相信你自己内心是有答案的,所以宁愿不给你答案,而让你自己想出答案。

Experience Dynamic = Slight experience necessary Exchange Dynamic = Balance of realised and given knowledge

经验动态 = 需要少量的经验 交流动态 = 实现和给予知识方式的平衡

Facilitator Relationships 引导者关系

This is the role I prefer to play with most of my clients at the moment. This is someone that really believes in ‘empowered learning.’ Someone that believes that their client truly does have the answers within them as well as the ability to find their own answers. “Teach a man (or woman) to fish” analogy!

这是我在大多数客户中更愿意扮演的角色。这是一个真正相信“授权iponu”的人。他们相信他们的客户拥有真正的答案,并有能力找到自己的答案。这是一个“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”的比喻。

Not only does a facilitator guide their ‘partner’ to come to their own realizations, they do it in such a way that their ‘partner’ is now fully empowered to take themselves through that journey by themselves. The role of a facilitator is almost silent and not dependable. Very often growth or transformation occurs and it feels like the facilitator was simply sitting in the room :p

作为引导者不仅仅引导他们的“伙伴”去实现自己的目标,他们这样做是为了让他们的“伙伴”有充分的能力自己去完成这个旅程。引导者的角色近乎是无声和不需要的。很多时候成长或者转变悄然发生,让人感觉引导者只是坐于房中而已。:p

As a facilitator’s role is really about creating a safe space and then allowing the ‘partner’ to dive in to uncover what is really there, they do not need wisdom or knowledge in the area of focus. They simply know human behaviour, emotional intelligence and space creation incredibly well. 引导者的角色实际上是创建一个安全的空间,然后让“伙伴”潜入其中,发现有什么东西,他们不需要在所聚焦领域的智慧或者知识。他们只是非常了解人类行为、情商以及空间创造。

Experience Dynamic = None necessary Exchange Dynamic = Realised knowledge

经验动态 = 不必要 交流动态 = 实现的知识

This has been my experience of the difference between these relationships that I hope may help navigate your search for the right support in your growth journey. Being clear on what and who you are seeking is super important in finding the right person.

这是我对这些关系之间区别的经验,我希望它能够在你成长的旅程中能够帮助你找到正确的支持。清楚你在找什么和谁,找到合适的人真的超级重要。

对于有些细微区别,我稍有不同的看法。两个维度的定义也有不明且不确认之处。后续补充。
