Working with a coach
The first thing a coach will usually do is help you figure out what you want and need. They’ll ask lots of questions to get a sense of where your head is at, and then they’ll help you identify your goals and think about the best way to help you get there. The coach doesn’t give you the answers or make significant decisions for you. Instead, they’ll ask questions to help stimulate your thoughts and ideas so that you can be the one making those decisions. They’ll give you the tools and support you need to get clarity, focus on what’s important, and even create habits that help you move forward.

Types Of Mentors: The Coach
At times, we need someone to help us think through difficult problems.
A good coach doesn't solve your problems. They listen to what you say and ask questions to uncover the cause of those problems. They may suggest different perspectives and strategies you have not considered.
Working for a bad boss
- Figure out the real issue before you speak to your supervisor.
- Instead of “You’re difficult,” say “It’s difficult for me to do my job well when I’m not given updated information.”
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions about things that are your responsibility.
Advise with permission
If you feel the need to offer unsolicited advice, ask them, “Do you want some ideas to improve the situation?”
This way they have the option to say no, and they’ll likely give you more attention when they’ve agreed to take your help.
