Mentoring supports but is different to executive coaching. Executive coaching uses executive coaches instead of mentors. Executive coaches are excellent at skills transfer while executive mentors are better at experiential transfer. While you may look for a coach consider exactly what you want in terms of executive development. Many good executive coaches do not have a solid business career background that enables them to tackle the hard issues. They may call themselves business coach or executive coach but they fall some way short of the service provided by a trained executive mentor who goes way beyond what many executive coaches claim is executive coaching for business.
