Hello Friends,
In this article I am not going to discuss the difference between Mentor and Coach but I am going to discuss the need of having them in our life. Feel free to provide your comments.
We always think that “I am best resource in my Team. I have accomplished N number of certification. I am the expert and SME of my world”. Then do I need a Mentor or a Coach?
Arjuna from Mahabharata was the best warrior but still when it came down to the final war it was Krishna (Coach / Mentor) who guided him successfully to overcome the challenges. Similarly in my opinion we always need a Coach or a Mentor in our life to overcome on our weaknesses/threats, to upsurge our strengths and to accomplish the opportunities to reach the pinnacle. No matter how proficient we are in our field.
We should always have a Mentor in our life no matter how successful
we are now because in the course of journey, when we are successful and
receives many compliments. People starts calling you “Mr. Committed, Mr. Dependable, Mr. Dedicated ”, However as we grow we start feeling that our
fulfilment is coming down. We feel that we have lost our own
identity. Any disturbance at work place
starts impacting you. If feel you are stuck at your place. That’s the wake up
call to have a Mentor / Coach in your life.
There is no reason for
us to be alone in our career, Many people have been in the exact same situation
where we are right now and they have successfully sailed through this situation.
That’s when our Mentor / Coach comes into picture to help us in sailing through
the situation.
Be the Arjuna
(Coachee / Mentee ) so that Krishna (Coach / Mentor ) can enter in
your life to overcome the challenges that you are facing now.
So do you have a Mentor or a Coach?
If Yes then great you are on a right track...
If No, then start looking to have one for you... I promise it will help you in long run...
