Professional coaches assist individuals in discovering solutions by using active listening skills, powerful questioning, expanding thought processes, identifying limiting beliefs, designing action steps, and providing follow-up support. Coaching skills can be applied to various areas of improvement.

Mentors, on the other hand, share their knowledge and expertise with mentees within their profession. They offer advice, guidance, correction, and encouragement to help individuals grow and succeed in their field. In some cases, mentors may also provide general life advice based on their relationship with the mentee.
