Of the many tools we have discussed, one that can not be overlooked is how to use coaching to advance your career. This option is one where we must sometimes embrace how little we know. Likewise, use a coach as a way to find guidance and someone to walk with us through our career journey. They provide a second viewpoint and one that is experienced and critical in the best way.

Invest In Coaching To Advance Your Career

We can not learn if we do not put ourselves in a learning environment and mindset. Thus, you will not stumble into coaching to advance your career. Instead, you need to be intentional in your decision to work with a coach. You may have a mentor guide you, but a coach is much more focused and direct. They will be there to push you and point you to how you can grow. It is a much more active relationship than most mentors. However, there are some cases where it is impossible to distinguish between the two.
