Mentoring

Mentoring at Novator Coaching provides experienced, one-on-one guidance from Samira Saberi — drawing on 15+ years of hands-on business leadership to help you navigate career decisions, industry challenges, and professional growth. Unlike executive coaching which develops your own answers through powerful questions, mentoring shares direct experience, advice, and lessons learned.

What mentoring includes

Mentoring sessions focus on sharing practical wisdom from real business experience. Samira provides guidance on career navigation, strategic decisions, industry dynamics, leadership transitions, and building professional networks. This is particularly valuable for professionals who are new to leadership or entering unfamiliar territory where experienced guidance accelerates learning.

Mentoring vs coaching — which do you need?

If you need someone to ask powerful questions and help you discover your own solutions → coaching. If you need someone to share their experience and tell you what worked for them → mentoring. If you need someone to do the work for you → hire a consultant. Our guide on coaching vs consulting vs mentoring explains the differences in detail.
