The Next Chapter

Do you really need a coach or a mentor?

The lines between what a coach and mentor do can at first seem a little blurry, so let’s start with talking about the differences between the two.

Coaching is usually carried out over a defined period, say 6 to 12 months, to develop skills or help achieve a specific goal, to help you work towards the goal and to hold you accountable.   

A mentor is a less structured and typically longer term relationship; someone to turn to for advice and run ideas by; someone who may have been there, done that and can give you advice that others may not.
