Who is a Coach, compared to a Mentor or a Trainer... ❓
There are many similarities, but also important differences we need to understand when choosing the person we want to learn from.
Coach:
Someone who challenges your thinking and current ways you operate in life, work, and business.
Your Coach keeps you accountable and walks the path side by side with you to make sure you get back on the road when you fall off.
Mentor:
Someone you admire or look up to.
He/ She has already done and achieved what you want.
More of a person with deep wisdom and knowledge, whose presence alone demands respect.
Someone you can only meet a few times a year, and feel you are full of inspiration, motivation, and knowledge to keep going forward on your path.
Trainer:
practical and pragmatic, who will make sure you will hit your sales numbers or that new PR at the Gym.
Not necessarily the nicest guy you know, but that's not the point either.
Someone who gets you to do the work you avoid or don't want to do!
Now that you know the difference, make sure you choose the right person to work with! ;)
