Episode 46 - Busting Down The Myths: The Difference Between A Coach, A Mentor And A Teacher

When it comes to time for guidance in life or business, we are often advised to seek the help of someone who's walked the path before us. But which guiding hand is right for us? In this episode, Shaa breaks down the differences between coaches, mentors and teachers, so as to help you make an informed decision about the guiding hand to suit you. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to distinguish between the different types of guidance, as all are really quite different. Without knowing what each terms means, we cannot obtain the correct guidance. Being a mentor is about having the experience in a certain area, that may prove useful to someone also embarking up that journey, without the structures of learning apparatus. A coach doesn't have to have industry experience or even knowledge relevant to your sector. Coaches are there to help their client find their path. Depending on what stage you are at in your business, and depending on the challenges ahead of you, you may need a mentor, teacher, coach or any combination of the three.

Shaa is the original misfit, maverick and magic maker.  Despite an Economics degree from The London School of Economics and a proud recipient of an MBE from The Queen, her real talents come from the school of hard knocks. Growing up on a council estate, Shaa learnt early on, that the only way to level the playing field was to first believe you could. Then go all in on making it happen.  Shaa’s first book, "Stop Talking Start Doing" became WHSmith's #1 Bestselling Business Book for 14 months in a row, breaking all industry records.  Shaa has never been one to sit on the fence or rest on her laurels and today her sole mission is to level the playing field and create real social mobility for all. The Sunday Times recently named her as “One of the top 20 most influential entrepreneurs in the UK”.
