How would I know if mentor or a coach is a better option for me?
This truly depends on client's needs. A coach provides the guidance and helps client reach their goals and full potential. On the other hand a mentor is someone who shares their knowledge, skills or experience, to help client develop.The main difference is that a coach won’t tell you what to do. In coaching we use questioning techniques to help you uncover the answers yourself.
