The 10 Key Differences Between A Mentor And A Coach
With The Mentor Training mentoring becomes a professional paid service, just like coaching, that is IICT-accredited for holistic practitioners, alternative therapies and leaders with unique and non-conventional skill sets and values who want an intuitive and practical framework to hold space for, lead and guide others.
Become A Leader With Integrity And Heart
When we begin sharing pieces from our personal lives to help guide our clients to make the discovery of the answers they are seeking for themselves, we must make sure we are doing it from a place of integrity and with intuition leading the way.
Mentoring Is A Long-Lost Art
Our collective is in a deep process of evolution. We see the pain, dysfunction, and trauma human beings have carried for generations play out every day and how that impacts everything we do, no matter how unrelated to ‘human behaviour’ it may seem.
How Mentors Can Help Adults Reparent Themselves
Reparenting must be carried out carefully by a mentor so that, eventually, the reigns can be turned over to the adult who must then carry on the lessons on their own. To be clear, this is supposed to be what happened initially, but the original parents were too damaged or self-involved to carry out these actions.
The Difference Between Mentoring, Coaching & Therapy
Mentoring offers a witnessing that we would otherwise receive from our elders, community and wider family that is lacking in our societies today, from someone who naturally falls into that position because of their unique insights, experiences and predispositions.
What We Do As Mentors
By holding space and witnessing someone without judgement you help them to feel when they are not able to and thereby regulate their emotions and experiences. You co-regulate by being calm, loving and compassionate and liberate people from their “self” stories, and narratives by holding them accountable to them.
Overcome The Fear of Being Seen
A lot of new heart-centred mentors, healers, and creatives fear being seen in their businesses. This fear hinders their ability to show up, put themselves out there, share their work, and make an impact.
Setting Boundaries As A Mentor
Before you enter into any mentoring relationship, whether this is your first client or your 100th, it’s smart to have a clear awareness of your own capacity.
