Are coaches mentors or consultants?
Many people don’t know that coaches are also different than mentors or consultants. Mentors are someone in your field of interest that you look up to, receive guidance from, and aspire to be like. A Personal Life Coach can be like a mentor, but a Life-Coach specifically focuses on what you need to reach your goals. A consultant is someone that has the “corner of the market” on information on a topic. They are the source of education for you and have expertise in a specific area. They are often considered “the expert.” Life-Coaches are more like a partner on your journey to success and they know that everything you need to succeed is within you.
