I am often asked, "What does a career coach do?"
I use this question as the foundation for my first blog post and a series of others that will follow. Using the text "Mentor" as the foundation for my introduction into the blogosphere, I will investigate the differences and similarities between coaching and mentoring in an attempt to better define my role in aiding my fellow spouses in finding fulfilling careers. Essentially, I believe that a coach is more of a facilitator or guide for others than a mentor to others. While some of the principles of being an effective mentor are certainly applicable to career coaching, there are many other facets to coaching.
I welcome you to my thoughts and hope that you enjoy the journey as I unveil a little bit more about what exactly coaching entails and discuss why I feel that this profession is truly my calling.
