Consultant V Coach

Below is a good example that illustrates the difference between a business coach and a consultant:

 

Riding a Bike

 

  • A business coach will help you understand how and why you ride a bicycle, encourage you to ride greater distances, ride faster, help you to determine what's holding you back from riding properly, and run along next to you encouraging you as YOU ride. 


  • A business consultant will explain why one bike is superior to another, how the bike works, how to go faster, how to use the gears, teach you how to ride the bike, and if necessary, ride the bike for you.

    Which one is best for you is based on your needs and values, as well your time constraints and deadlines.

    I often work in "hybrid" mode, as a coach/consultant.  This means that I offer you the best of both coaching and consulting, providing:

  • advice and expertise when you need it
  • new business and marketing skills to keep you in front
  • motivation and brainstorming, and above all inspiration
