While a coach may provide resources, models and ways of reframing a situation, the coach does
not provide "the solution" for how to handle a situation, but helps the executive consider
many alternatives for moving forward. They can provide a model for how progress can
be made - and the executive gets a roadmap for following in the mentor's footsteps.A
coach, on the other hand, is not necessarily someone who has taken the exact career
path the coaching client is pursuing, but helps the executive develop their own path to
whatever destination they are seeking. Anyone who is not already familiar with the concept of
executive coaching may easily confuse it with related professional advice from other sources. The
mentor is usually 2-3 levels further on in their career than the executive and has
a "been there done that" approach to helping the executive think tn pas cher through the options in
front of them. Since executive coaching clients are often senior executives, they have probably
experienced many kinds of advice and encouragement in their professional careers, but coaching is a
unique form of personal leadership development.Perhaps the most familiar advisor for many executives is the
mentor. The coach is often a fan of the game, a student of the
game, but usually not a superstar player themselves. She serves entrepreneurs and executives in growing
companies to improve their leadership skills to grow their businesses and team, through a variety
of consulting and coaching services customized to meet each client's needs.Join her mailing list at:

About the Author: Laura L. Like a great sports coach, an executive coach is
not necessarily a better player than you at your game, but the coach can provide
feedback and insight to help you fulfill your potential and reveal your inner greatness.When you
are navigating the waters of a culture, club or structure where there is a more
senior person whose footsteps you want to to travel, a mentor can be a great
fit and a huge help in making the right connections, playing the politics and getting
seen in the right places. Huckabee-Jennings, is CEO of Transcend Leadership Coaching. A mentor
is an invaluable resource at any stage of your career and provides advice, counsel and
resources to show an executive how to achieve success in the way that the mentor
did it. The coach is not there to tell the executive how to do
their job better, but rather to provide an outside perspective to help the executive consider
more broadly the impact of their actions and a wide range of possible alternatives to
arrive at more powerful solutions that fit the executive and the situation.Think about great athletes
and their coaches. The mentor shares the strategies that worked for them at a
similar stage in their career to help the executive achieve similar results. All rights reserved
