Choosing between coaching and mediation depends on your specific goals and situation. Coaching is ideal for personal growth, skill development, and overcoming challenges. Mediation specializes in resolving conflicts involving multiple parties. Consider the nature and complexity of your issue, as well as the involvement of others. Coaching can also be a valuable option when mediation is not feasible due to factors such as the unavailability or unwillingness of the other party or high-conflict situations.
