"Tutor, coach, mentor, consultant ...? King's speech

Yesterday I had the chance to see the movie " King's speech" and, in my humble opinion, represeta " all accompanying work " besides being recommended to see her and spend time very nice. After seeing the film I think we can draw some useful lessons applicable to the world of training and people development.
I note that at present often use the terms coaching and mentoring intertwined and, although they have the common root of being tools to enhance the development of people, it is true that the mixture for not versed in these issues can confuse the meaning and scope of application. It is true that both concepts serve successfully used to extract from us our potential and accelerate the achievement of personal and professional development have been defined previously with the applicant.
The difference is that mentoring comes from the mentor's previous experience which guide its way to the mentor, in Instead, the coaching is getting the best out of the coachee and also accompany him on his way but not speak on what path to take. Sometimes the difference between the two is not clear, so I suggest always well informed before tackling such a process.
As this post title in the work of "Lionel ," the specialist to help the King George VI (friendly called " Bertie") is balanced between a wealth of roles and I think it's admirable, precisely in the variety of roles as a teacher, tutor, coach, mentor, consultant ..., "All in one , where lies the interesting thing to learn from this film and which should be noted by managers and leaders responsible for any group of people and those engaged in training and developing people (coaches, mentors, trainers, consultants, etc.).
I would like to cite a few examples although there are many, the "core skills" implemented in the film and as defendants today. For starters: Lionel creates the foundation for successful start any process of this kind in which he explained the rules of the game from the beginning (" these are the rules and they are my rules ") and always maintaining a position of respect in regard to Bertie while demanding the same reciprocity (" treat me as an equal ") and enhancing the mutual self-responsibility (" my field is this and if you want to improve and change what you do not like the free decision to accept and play with them is yours but they are my rules and not the ones you want when you agree impose ").
This start in which lay the foundations and rules clear from the beginning, in practice, is not a bed of roses as the saying goes "once worth more than a hundred yellow colored" and must be made test but is the foundation to generate a confident well understood and can be advanced in support of that work.
The second is refers to the art of asking. The questions it poses are what we call Lionel powerful and profound questions that are not intrusive or inquisitorial and are aimed at the waterline of the person and cause an inward look at himself and then be able to draw out the latent potential that is anchored and blocked by fear can not leave. This work of Lionel is one of the keys to the progress of "Bertie" to evolve into a position that has changed the fear of vertigo and although still in a state of permanent alert allows you to make decisions for themselves and take action .
This ability to ask questions of this type is present throughout the film Accompanying this work already cited. From the beginning, to establish the ground rules, and then to explore the reality of things distinguishing facts from beliefs, to get "the I can not" and "expose" to Bernie to leave your comfort zone to take a choices about what you can do from their responsibility and help implement them (I think it is a good example of applying the Grow Model development).
Finally, I also wanted to highlight other skills of Lionel present throughout the film and helps to make a "constructive work" at all times. I refer to your sense of humor that also combines excellently with his knowledge be. Quite a success!
