Understanding the Purpose of Coaching and Mentoring

You probably heard people mention coaching and mentoring, or read articles about the results people have gained by taking on a coach or mentor. But what can you really look forward to? In order to understand the advantages of these coaches and mentors, you must first understand the purpose.

In truth, the goal is not to tell you what to do – but to help you realize what it is you should be doing.
