1. What’s the difference between Coaching and Counseling?

In counseling, the counselor provides possible answers to the clients questions. The counselor typically determines the agenda and schedule.

In coaching, the client owns the relationship from the start: the focus, the goals, the schedule, the vision, etc. The coach: 

• Does not bring a predetermined agenda to the relationship. 
• Does not give the client the answers to their problems. 
• Assists the client in discovering and learning the answers to the questions that will lead the client to greatness.
• Helps keep the client accountable to meeting their goals for success.

2. What’s the difference between Coaching and Consulting?

Consulting is a problem-solving service. The consultant is paid to provide the client with what they believe are the answers to client’s problems.

Coaching provides the client the opportunity to enter an environment where their vision can be developed and achieved. Inspiration and motivation are key elements. In coaching, the client owns the relationship from the start: the focus, the goals, the agenda, the schedule, the vision, etc. 

Once again, the coach: 

• Does not bring a predetermined agenda to the relationship. 
• Does not give the client the answers to their problems. 
• Assists the client in discovering and learning the answers to the questions that will lead the client to greatness.
• Helps keep the client accountable to meeting their goals for success.

3. Which areas of my life will benefit from Coaching?

You will discover what areas you want to work as we build our coaching relationship. The exciting results of coaching are often experienced as clients deal with issues that make small changes that add up to great success.

4. What guarantee or assurance is there that this will accomplish my goals? How do we gauge our success?

We will determine from the outset of our coaching relationship what you desire to achieve through being coached. You will determine the success of our relationship, by setting measurable and achievable goals and objectives, and deciding on the steps you want to take to meet those goals and objectives.

5. Is Coaching focused purely on business issues? It seems that personal life- issues are at the core of what goes on in my business?

If you choose executive coaching, then we will focus on you as an executive and your business. If you decide you would prefer life coaching, then that will determine our focus for when we meet.

6. How are sessions conducted? I’ve heard most are over the phone. 

Sessions are typically over the phone, but if you would prefer, e-mail is included in your coaching package. The possibility of in-person coaching is also available. 



7. Is my time with you strictly scheduled as an appointment or are you accessible at times that fit for a client with a somewhat unpredictable schedule?

You have the option of either setting up regular scheduled sessions, or choosing a flexible schedule.
