Making a mid-career change can feel daunting, especially if you've spent years in a particular role or industry. Whether you're seeking more fulfilment, a new challenge, or simply a fresh start, understanding and using your unique strengths can make this transition smoother and more rewarding.

If you're navigating a career transition or feeling stuck in a plateau, you may be trying to figure things out on your own.

Having the right kind of support can accelerate your progress and save you months (or years) of painful trial-and-error.

That said, not all support is the same.

Many people confuse a coach with a mentor.

Here are the key differences:

? A Mentor shares their lived experience.

They’ve walked the path you desire. They may give you tactics, connections, and share lessons learned.

Think of them as someone a few steps ahead, helping you learn from their hindsight.

They help you learn from what worked for them.

? A Coach focuses on your potential.

They don’t necessarily give you answers, as they ask the right questions to tap into your inner wisdom.

The goal is to clarify what you want, cut the noise and fog, and build your own strategy forward.

They help you find what works for you.

So, who do you need?

? If you're figuring out the how based on someone else’s path → Mentor

? If you're seeking clarity on your own path, strengths, and goals → Coach

Both are valuable. It depends on your situation and what you need most.
