Listen in for even the briefest time to any reality competition on television and you will hear the mentor skills<\/strong><\/a> of that show\u2019s coach as he demonstrates his coaching strategy.\u00a0 Some of the coaches, like the ones on The Biggest Loser<\/em>, seem abusive to me.\u00a0 Others, like Dr. Phil, can feel punitive or judgmental.\u00a0 And then there is Tim Gunn, one of my favorite coaches, on Project Runway<\/em>.\u00a0 Tim isn\u2019t one of the judges.\u00a0 He functions mainly as supervisor and mentor to the competitors, and his mentor skills<\/strong> are first rate.<\/p>\n

Great Mentor Skills Encourage A Unique Vision<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Project Runway<\/em> happens to be a clothing designers competition.\u00a0 Like all the reality competitions, every week there is a challenge, and every week someone wins and someone else goes home.\u00a0 One of Tim Gunn\u2019s strongest mentor skills<\/span> is consistent encouragement for the designers to be clear on and true to their own individual style and vision.\u00a0\u00a0 And this is a mentoring and coaching approach that we all need.\u00a0 Just as every winning contestant must have a unique personal aesthetic, every coach must develop her own clear vision of her goals in coaching and what her practice or business will look like.\u00a0 You won\u2019t be satisfied with the end point if it isn\u2019t congruent with your unique personal self.\u00a0 If you are confused or uncertain, find a coach with Tim\u2019s mentor skills<\/strong> to help you clarify your goals, and then …..<\/p>\n

\u201cGo.\u00a0 Go.\u00a0 Go.\u00a0 Make It Work!\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cMake it work\u201d is Tim\u2019s signature phrase.\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty self explanatory really.\u00a0 Once you know the direction you want to take, get on with it, but don\u2019t get stuck in it.\u00a0 Whether we\u2019re talking about designing a dress, starting a coaching business, or running a session doesn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 What does matter is that you have a vision for your end point, that you take action toward it, and that you are willing to modify that action if necessary to make it work.\u00a0 Take advantage of Tim Gunn\u2019s awesome mentor skills<\/span> and adopt his catch phrase as your mantra.\u00a0 Then watch your own skill and vision grow and take shape.<\/p>\n
