Leading 4 Life "Stories"
I am Bob Judson and I spent over 34 years in the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom as a fast-jet pilot and then eventually as a senior leader, retiring from the military in 2015 as an Air Vice-Marshal (2* General). I subsequently transitioned to the corporate world as a consultant at Deloitte, but in 2019 I stepped away from all that and co-founded Leading 4 Life.
I am passionate about helping to develop the leadership skills of individuals and teams and that is what this podcast is all about. You will hear from me, and from a wide range of special guests, many of whom have had incredible leadership journeys and risen to the most senior level of their governments, militaries and corporations. The focus won't only be on success; there is also much to be learned from the failures along the way!
Thank you for listening!

Leading 4 Life "Stories"
E91 - Themes: Mentoring & Coaching
I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message
Having been mentored myself, and having mentored a great many others over the years both formally and informally, I have always been conscious of the value of mentoring. When I received some executive coaching and subsequently added coaching qualifications to my own repertoire a few years ago, I became equally conscious that the two disciplines are often muddled and confused by many.
In this thematic episode, I aim to provide some guidance both to those looking for coaching and mentoring and to those who provide it. The thoughts are my own but heavily drawn from a plethora of conversations I have had with others over many years now.
I believe it extremely important to be aware of the difference between coaching and mentoring and, although blurring of the two can be done intentionally, there are too many that provide mentoring, but think that they are providing coaching. Both have their place and are highly beneficial to the recipients but, as with all things, clarity about what you expect from the process is very important. I hope that my thoughts will help in that respect.
