In today’s episode of What Is Really Important, Kirk and Christina talk about coaching versus mentoring. Christina has always been interested in gaining a mentor that benefits her life in a positive way.

A mentor is someone you are willing to dedicate time to in exchange for learning skills from their expertise. Kirk then talks about the first mentor he had through property management. As Kirk is a coach himself, he points out that the difference in coaching is that clients pay for consistent meetings and may or may not take your advice. With a mentorship, your opinion is valued more as you share a strong interest in learning from said mentor.

Christina talks about how people approach her in terms of coaching them in social media guidance, and discusses how the music industry is suffering due to COVID-19. No matter where you are in a business, you can always benefit from having a coach. Christina explains that coaching businesses are booming and that coaching is a 7.5 billion dollar industry in the US. Furthermore, it is expected to grow to 20 billion by 2022.

The desire Christina had for a mentor became greatly satisfied by turning to God and getting her own coach. Kirk tells us the importance of having someone close to you who can help you along the way, especially in business and your personal life.
