It doesn’t matter where you are in your life, CEO or Sunday School teacher, everyone needs a coach or mentor. When choosing a mentor, it needs to be someone outside of your workplace, family, or circle of close friends. That’s not to say your mentor won’t be your friend, but you have to be able to bounce ideas, thoughts, and occasionally, frustrations, off this person, without fear of being judged.
A mentor typically has more practical life experience that you, however, that doesn’t mean they have to be older. Wisdom comes from experience, not necessarily age.
When looking for someone to coach you, you need to first make sure they also have someone mentoring them. There’s no one with all the answers.
If you are in need of personal or leadership coaching, I’d love to work with you (and yes, I have 3 coaches for 3 areas of my life). Just email me at cholmes777@gmail.com and we'll connect.
Be Awesome!
Chris
