How does coaching differ from consulting?

 

There are many similarities between consulting and coaching. Consultants design, develop and implement solutions. Coaches help their clients discover their own personal best solution.  They then support the client as he or she develops and implements their goals.  It is a collaborative process with the client's happiness as the priority and main focal point.

 

How does coaching differ from therapy?

 

Coaching is not therapy. Coaching helps you move forward and set personal and professional goals that will give you the life you really want. It is action and goal oriented. Therapy discusses how and why this behavior has developed and how it has prevented you from achieving the success you desire.  Ultimately,  it too will help you achieve different outcomes. Therapy focuses on the past in order to move you ahead.  Coaching focuses on the present.

What type of commitment is required for coaching?

 

Most coaches suggest a 3 to 6 month commitment for individual coaching, with weekly sessions. However, there is no hard and fast rule. Corporate client commitments are as per the terms of their contract. Many of my clients agree that 12 session is about the right number, but it is an individual decision.  You will never be penalized for unfinished sessions or for stretching out your sessions to once every other week or once a month if you feel that best suits your needs.

 

Can I hire a coach for short term?

 

Absolutely! Many people hire a coach to achieve short-term goals, especially if they have been coached in the past.
