Episode 004: Coaching or Mentoring? Which is Better?

Episode 4: Coaching or Mentoring? Which is Better?

Have you ever felt like everyone else got the secret instruction manual for career success except you? In this episode of Dreams and Ladders, I share my own journey of searching for guidance in two male-dominated professions, and why the lack of mentorship often left me feeling like I was piecing together a recipe with missing ingredients.

We'll explore:

·       Why mentorship is powerful for career advancement and why it can be harder for women to access.

·       How to find mentors outside your organization (and some places you may not have thought to look).

·       The unique role coaching plays when mentorship isn't available or when you need deeper support.

·       How coaching helps uncover blind spots, build leadership skills, and navigate the tough moments (such as being passed over for promotion).

·       Why coaching and mentoring together create the most powerful combination for leadership growth.

If you've ever wondered whether you need a mentor, a coach, or both - this episode will give you the clarity and tools to move forward with confidence.
