The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

NOTE

The Coach and the Mentor

Coaches provide valuable perspectives by being outside of your world and showing you different angles. Like in first-year physics, where the person on the moving train sees the ball as stationary while someone outside sees it moving at the train's speed. Coaches help you see beyond what you're involved in. Coaching is different from mentoring and teaching. Coaches offer an external view of your reality and help you set goals.
