Imagine you must run a 1000 meter race. A teacher is someone who teaches you how to run or how to run faster. A mentor is like a running champion who has achieved this feat. A mentor can share with you his or her experience on how to improve, what to focus on based on the mentor's own personal experience. If you were running and suddenly felt some pain, a counsellor can help you explore how this pain came about, what it takes to heal the pain. Dealing with past trauma would not be necessarily related to your future performance however. A coach is someone who focuses on your personal growth. He or she will help you know your field and decide whether you should run a 1000 meter race in the first place or to participate in a different activity, whether to deal with the pain or to simply let it go, what mindset to have when you are with other excellent athletes. If the method you learned conflicts with your own current state, it is in your best interest to adjust. Bonnie Gu Coaching Service can help you set a direction for your own growth, discover and break some limiting beliefs and become a better version of yourself.
