Life Coach & Mentor, both plays a very important role in our life. A person who has a good mentor and a good life coach can perform exponentially in different areas of life.
But people often get confused between a life coach, counselor & a mentor. All of them can help us but during different phases of life and in different ways, but their working styles are different.
In this article, I Sahil Kumar Nagpal, Life Coach & Spiritual Guide will look at: how a life coach is different from a mentor?
Who Is A Life Coach?
A life coach is someone who coaches you for life. He or she helps you overcome challenges in life, he or she helps you overcome problems in life. A life coach is someone who guides you through tough times in life. A life coach is someone who will help you achieve your goals. A life coach is someone who will help you become your optimum version.
Who Is A Mentor?
A mentor is someone who you can look up to. He or she is someone who inspires you in life. A mentor is someone who you want to become in many ways.
TESTIMONIAL OF LIFE COACHING & MENTORING PROGRAMS
I used to faint in situations where I wanted to do the task but was also afraid to do. My whole body would get cold and couldn’t see anything even if my eyes were open. As my guru, Sahil Nagpal said, “in certain situations my mind could not take decision so it would go blank” Sir gave me a very effective solution i.e. take deep breaths 10 times closing your eyes and repeat it 3 to 4 times a day. And it works and from then I haven’t fainted. Thanks a lot to you sir.
We had invited Mr. Nagpal for a session on self defence on Womens Day and it was a total hit. He has in-depth subject knowledge and gives justice to each session that he delivers. His session on Decision Making by Managing Emotions was much appreciated by all the participants. His charm and charisma is cherry on the cake.
Why It Is Important To Have A Life Coach In Life?
Working with a life coach will help you see life from a different perspective. As a life coach, I have helped people understand their role in making their future. As a life coach, I help people understand the power of their actions on the outcome of the situations. As a life coach, I have helped people understand the functioning of the mind, energies & body and how to take charge of it. I have helped people understand how by taking charge of your body, mind & energies you can take charge of your actions and thereby your life.
Why It Is Important To Have A Mentor In Life?
A mentor is someone who you want to become. You may or may not have met your mentor, but he or she is influencing your life in some way. Mentors can also mentor you by meeting you or talking on phone or through email. But basically, he or she will give that small but highly essential input, that can drastically change your life.
Difference Between Life Coach & Mentor
| LIFE COACH | MENTOR |
| Life Coaching sessions are mostly once a week | Mentoring sessions are mostly once a month |
| Life Coach helps you with everything | Helps you with main aspects |
| Life Coach gives holistic coaching | Mentors you in one or two aspects of life |
| Life Coaching is the main profession for a Life Coach | Mentoring may not be the main profession for the mentor |
| A Life Coach can also be a mentor | A mentor may not be a Life Coach |
In my life at different point of times I have been benefited by life coaches & mentors as well. The important thing is to keep on learning & self-developing yourselves. You can do this on your own or with the help of a life coach or with the help of a mentor or something else. It doesn’t really matter. What matters is you become a better version of yourself consciously.
I give life coaching programs in India & elsewhere, online & offline as well. I also mentor people. I have my own mentoring programs. I have mentored many business leaders & owners. I am also a Life Coach to some CEOs. I also mentor to other life coaches. Two things that I have observed are:
- The longing to grow leads a person higher
- How efficiently he or she will grow depends upon who the person takes guidance from
You as an individual can choose to work with a mentor or a life coach. But essential thing is you keep on learning, keep on upgrading yourself consciously.
