Thanks for letting me know whe could make even a small amount of money out of mentoring!

I have been doing coaching and mentoring at work for a long time now. I do this as part of my daily work, not something I do outside for money. In her book Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman Method, Emily Bache offers the following motivations about why to do tech coaching:

  • It’s challenging and interesting. […]
  • You can have a bigger effect than you would in other roles. […]
  • Teaching is inherently rewarding […]

I found that these motivations resonated well with me.

Thanks for your post!
