‘Moaching’ is a form of professional development that involves mentoring and coaching – it is neither one nor the other, but rather a combination of both. It is a term one of my colleagues adopted when she learnt about the ETF’s approach to mentoring and coaching.
At the ETF we are not the first people to coin the term ‘moaching’ and my colleague definitely thinks it will catch on (I am not so sure). However, it does raise a question I am keen to address: what do we really mean by mentoring or coaching, or indeed ‘moaching’?
