Mentor Coaching Is an Art Studio, Not an Assembly Line

Why every coach—credentialed, new, or quietly evolving—needs this kind of space.

There’s a moment in every coach’s journey when the learning curve flattens and the calendar fills. You’re serving clients, signing contracts, maybe even collecting glowing testimonials. On paper, you’ve “made it.”

But quietly, in the background, a question starts to hum:

“Am I still growing, or just going through the motions?”

That’s where mentor coaching comes in. And no—it’s not just for early-career coaches or the credentialing process. It’s for anyone committed to depth, presence, and lasting impact—plus technical skill development.

And yet, mentor coaching is often misunderstood. It’s treated like a means to an end: a requirement to meet, a hoop to jump through, a step to complete on the way to a credential.

But the truth? It’s so much more than that.

It’s not a test. It’s not a performance review. And it’s certainly not a system designed to mold you into someone else’s idea of a “good coach.”
