What do career coaches do?
The video summarises on guiding the professionals and people through career challenges.
There is a very important difference between coaching and mentoring, especially when it comes to career coaching for doctors.
Terms like coaching, mentoring, advising, consulting and even counselling are used interchangeably.
However sometimes they get confused thinking what exactly refers to career coaching for doctors.
Counselling or therapy is treating a person who is having some challenges in the present. As a counsellor, you work with them to resolve the issues of the past that may be holding them back and suggesting them precautions to deal with their problems.
Whereas mentoring means when you meet a person who aspires to become an element resulting from his own career or journey towards success and asking you to give specific guidance and advice which eventually becomes a very useful relationship. Coaching is considered more encompassing.
Coaching, more precisely career coaching for doctors, is about meeting the person in the present, who is likely to be a more functional human being and he possesses unrealised potentials, passions, desires which are mostly buried inside.
Coaching is done through self-provoking questions. Coaching also helps one to become accountable for what the person says. The same goes for career coaching for doctors.
So, a career coaching for doctors helps them to become a true human being meeting their goals in real time.
