Do You Need Perspective or Structure? Coaching, Mentors & the Next Step Forward
In this episode of How You Go There, Scott Montgomery and Linda Misegadis continue the workbook series with a conversation about coaching, mentors, advisors, and the kind of support that helps people move forward with intention.
They explore what makes coaching different from mentoring or advising, why certification and structure matter, how to think about chemistry with a coach, and why the right support depends on the stage of life or leadership you are in.
The episode also connects back to the How You Go There companion guide, which helps listeners reflect on relationships, habits, goals, and the kind of coaching support they may need next.
Reflection question from the episode:
Where are you right now? Do you need perspective, or do you need structure?
