Coaching & Mentoring

Life Coaching

Coaching is a service that assists a person to grow, gain personal insight and ultimately move forward into a more desirable reality. This is a modality that allows the responsibility of growth to be solely with the client/person seeking assistance. The role of the coach is to merely reflect and present different viewpoints and to question in such a way that assists the client to uncover their own answers and understandings. To evoke awareness and facilitate client growth are two very important core coaching competencies. The client is known to be the expert in their own life and they choose the direction of each session. Coaching is a tool that assists a person to unlock his or her own potential and to gain clarity. It is about moving forward and is facilitated through deep listening in conjunction with the wise use of questioning.

Mentoring

Mentoring is a service that is largely driven by the client and will see the mentor acting as a guide in which encouragement, wisdom and guidance is offered. The Mentor is often (yet not always) in a position personally, professionally and or spiritually that the client would like to be. Commonly the Mentor has walked a similar path in which the client is embarking; therefore, has valuable knowledge and insights to help with their journey.  

A client is usually drawn to a particular mentor because of his or her specific life experience, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. It is through this relationship that the client can learn how in their own unique way to move towards their goals. A mentor will use active and deep listening techniques and will assist a mentee to undergo self-exploration and examination to determine where they are at and get clear on where they would like to be. A mentor can help a mentee forge there own way forward in the direction of their desired outcome and reality.
