Coaching

On this page

Career coaching is a structured conversation, one to one or in a group, that helps you get clear on where you want to go, what’s holding you back and what to do next. A coach doesn’t hand you the answers. They help you find your own, then hold you to them.

When does coaching help most?

Coaching is most useful at turning points. Stepping into a first leadership role, coming back from leave, stalling after a strong run or getting ready for a bigger move. Promotion is rarely a straight line, and a good coach helps you see the path you’re actually on.

Coaching, mentoring and sponsorship

Coaching builds clarity. Mentoring builds capability. Sponsorship builds visibility. At Cultivate, coaching helps people get ready for the opportunities a sponsor can open up. The articles here cover feedback, confidence, fair performance reviews and knowing when it’s time to recalibrate.
