Life Coaching VS Consulting

This week on the blog, let's talk about what Life Coaching is when compared to Consulting. We may have questions in mind that will arise, do I need a Life Coach or a Consultant? Perhaps for your business that you're trying to build, a project you're trying to complete, or simply just a hiccup you would want to resolve.

The deal is, Consulting will be focusing on figuring out problems and providing resources such as expertise, strategies, structures, and methodologies to solve them. As for Life Coaching will always be with the client in the present time and in the moment while exploring what they desire in the future.

Consulting usually will have a "problem-solver" expert for a team or department with a specific issue or problem, as Life Coaching is a co-creative experience between coach and client with an equal relationship moving into a direction of discovery.

In consulting, the consultant stands back, evaluates analyzes a situation, then tells you what's wrong and gives you recommendations on how to fix it. As for the coach in a coaching relationship, is going to partner with you to identify what the you want, and will hold you accountable for reaching the desired outcomes.

Clearly, we all have our own processes and it is easier to understand if each profession and role is clearly defined.
