A Mentor is a level one Coach.
A Mentor has previous experience of the path that the client is following.
They facilitate the path of the coachee.
The skill of the mentor is to allow the mentee to make their own choices.
It is not the role of the mentor to teach the right path to follow.
The right choice for the client is the path that they know and feel is right for them.
The role of a level one coach is to align the client with their effortless path.
Stage one on their path is to overcome problems.
It is not the mentors role to overcome or solve the problems that the client faces.
It is the coach’s role to guide & support the client to become problem-free.
Once problem-free the coachee can clearly see their challenges.
The Mentors role is to hear and to clarify the client’s challenges.
