Do you need a coach? A simple question, but it has many unthought of aspects.

• Getting guidance and mentoring helps you assess your possibilities better and to look at options that you might have been unaware of. Having someone to review your ideas and plans often gives insights from a different perspective.
• Input from someone who has broader experiences will give you more options in how to plan and fulfill your goals.
• You get a listener’s view rather than your own as the speaker. This sounding board and dialogue can take your ideas to much fuller ends.  You also get ideas that you might not have thought of.
• A coach can be neutral and unbiased in assessing options. As a scientist planning a career or a supervisor working with others, most people need guidance and mentoring. Supervision is handling people so that they do the best in the tasks you are responsible in having them do
