The term \u2018coaching\u2019 is used widely today, and conjures up different meanings for different people. Some people turn to a coach when they seek to be held accountable to their goals. Others want someone to give them advice (which I think of as mentoring) as to which direction they should go with their business. Regular listeners to the Edit Boost Podcast will have heard me coaching editors to help them identify their desired goals and decide the first steps to get there. But I\u2019ve also given advice from time to time. My approach, as reflected in the coaching calls on this show, is a mix of coaching and mentoring that my clients have found effective for getting them unstuck in business. It\u2019s been so rewarding to see my clients\u2019 businesses take off after I\u2019ve helped them uncover their own potential, step into their confidence and take action to achieve the goals that are important to them (as opposed to other people\u2019s expectations). Today I\u2019ll share with you my thoughts about what coaching is and what it isn\u2019t; hopefully this will give you a better understanding of what I mean when I talk about \u2018coaching\u2019. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.
