3 Things great mentors or coaches can do

A good mentor or coach will do one of these things for you and if you are lucky a great one might do all three:

2. Offer a saying or quote that helps you spot a behavior to seek or avoid
3. Help uncover an aspect or talent which until then had laid dormant
