"I am just a guy who is the happiest when I am doing things for others."

My Work and Philosophy

 

When I was young, I was an underdog. Now, my passion is holding space for the underdogs and those that seem to fall through the cracks. When it comes to counseling, there is a lot of help for people who have money but not much for those who do not. I am a mentor. Both mentors and coaches benefit people in several ways. To do the most good, people need to be clear on what their priorities are and what kind of support they are looking for. With the right support, people can become more aware, engaged, and, I feel, alive.

Mentorship vs Coaching

  • Mentoring is a long-term process based on mutual trust and respect.

    Coaching, on the other hand, is for a short period of time. It’s best to keep it short and sweet.

  • Mentoring is more focused on creating an informal association between the mentor and mentee.

    Coaching, alternatively, follows a more structured and formal approach.

  • A mentor has first-hand experience of the mentee’s concerns.

    A coach, however, does not need to have a hands-on experience of the kind of work the coachee is engaged in.

  • The topmost priority of a mentor is to help develop skills that are not just relevant for the mentees in their present life but also for the future.

    For a coach, the biggest priority is to improve performance that impacts the present goals.

How to Start

Agreements

I won’t accept just anyone for my mentorship program. We both have to feel that working with each other has got to feel good.
  • That doesn’t mean that my mentees won’t feel vulnerable but on some level it has to feel like the right thing to do.
  • A person has to face his or her fears.
  • There are reasonable fears and unreasonable fears. I can help most people learn to tell the difference and not let the unreasonable fears stop you from becoming who you are and what you want from life.

Meeting

We will spend two one hour sessions together and if we don’t feel that it’s worth continuing we won’t continue but I believe with all my heart that your life will change.
  • It takes courage to take on the challenge of finding out who you really are.
  • It takes guts to open up your heart but not get slaughtered from it. I can teach you that.
  • I can hold the space for you to go to your dark side. There is a lot of gold in your dark side if you risk it.
    Most unreasonable fears aren’t the dragons that we imagine but more like mice.

Investment

Before we start, I will need people to be willing to invest in our relationship. In some way they have to have some skin in the game. These first two meetings will require an investment, (I will consider a sliding scale).
  • You can do this!
  • Let’s Go!
