LET'S SUMMARISE

Hopefully, you are starting to appreciate that ...

When you become a Mentor your role largely involves giving advice and guidance to others who are less experienced in life or in your field of expertise.

When you become a Life Coach your role involves helping others transform their lives.

You do so, not through imparting advice and guidance but by bringing tools and techniques to bear in unlocking the true potential of your clients.

When you become a Mentor you can look forward to mentee interactions that are usually more informal in nature and often offered voluntarily as a way of giving back to younger, less experienced or less advantaged people.

When you become a Life Coach your client interactions will form part of a formal contractual relationship with market related fees being charged for coaching services.

The mentee can look forward to a transference of knowledge and skill from the mentor.

The Life Coaching client experiences growth and development from within.
