1| A Traditional Mentor
A mentor is someone that you can go to, to get advice on personal and professional matters.
They often give you advice based on things that theyāve seen or experienced themselves, but they never give you the answer to the problem that youāre facing. Thatās up to you to figure out!

2| A Coach
Someone who is a coach might feel or act like a career or life coach.
They donāt have to classify themselves as a coach, but their role in your life will be similar. They make you think and work!
You normally lean on coaches to help you:
- reach a specific goal
- obtain new skills
- complete a project.
If needed, they can offer expertise and advice, but everything that they do should tie back to that larger goal that youāre trying to reach.

3| A Sponsor
Sponsors are the perfect blend of a mentor and a coach.
They have the influence and power to help you get to where youāre trying to go, and they actively work to open doors for you as well.
They often serve as an advocate and speak your name in rooms that youāre not yet invited to. This person can also be your own personal cheerleader. Work hard to find a sponsor who is well connected and excellent at networking as well!
