Our Life skills bring together your social, emotional and cognitive capacities to problem solve and achieve goals. While science tells us that developing these skills is critical in the youngest years, they can be developed throughout life: it’s never too late!
Coaching is usually a specific set goal in a time-frame and is heavily invested only into achievement of the demarcated goal. Mentorship however, can be as much as a life-long bond between the mentor and the mentee who redefine goals as the mentees journey in life goes on forward. The relationship that both parties share is central to mentorship.
Coaching tends to be more structured and formal than mentorship, where in the latter- open conversations, even informal ones are encouraged. Outcome from a coaching is quite often specific and measurable, showing signs of improvement in the desired performance area. In the case of mentorship, the focus area can shift and change over time. There is less interest in specific, measurable results or changed behaviour and more interest in the overall development of the mentee. To answer what’s more beneficial- it’s definitely the one that suits your personal goals better.
Have you ever wanted to learn something, or had a goal but had no idea where to even start ? Having a coach is like having a personal trainer for your life. Coaches guide and encourage you as you learn to become more efficient, learn new skills, and make decisions that work for you. Coaches provide you the direction where you walk to, to achieve your personal goals. Feedback given by coaches are one of the most crucial tools for one to get an unbiased look at methods you use and ways you can improve them. Having the support of a coach can allow you to have more confidence in your abilities and have better discipline within the career you pursue or in your personal life.

The best time to have a coach is always now. Coaching is beneficial at every stage in your professional journey. Having a coach can help you progress towards your goals with more direction and focus. Don’t waste time with trial and error or methods that aren’t just smart enough. Sure, you could wait until you’ve gained a promotion or lost those first 10 lbs, or you could reach and surpass those goals in the same amount of time with the accountability, encouragement, and resources of a coach.
Of course! The most crucial part of coaching is about learning and developing in various aspects of your life. When beginning a relationship with a coach, be sure to discuss what it is you’re hoping to get out of the coaching experience. Set specific, measurable, and meaningful goals towards anything in your life—personal or professional. You can indeed be coached about better ways of living and hustling in life.
Training and coaching is a learned skill. Good managers are often good support for their juniors or co-workers but the purpose of these relationships is distinct and very deviant from your personal developmental goals. Having a coach who is not your manager provides clear advantages. First, the role of your manager is to make sure first and foremost that you are performing well in your job. The role of your coach is however, to make sure first and foremost that you identify developmental goals that work for you, which may or may not have anything to do with your current job.
