Coaching vs. Therapy and Consulting
|
Therapists are trained and licensed to treat a diagnosable psychological condition. People generally seek a therapist to work on painful issues rooted in the past in an attempt to become “whole”. The focus of coaching is on what the client intends to accomplish. Coaching starts in the present and is future oriented. The client is not seen as a sick patient who needs to be made well, but as a whole and already perfect person who through coaching is facilitated to live a happier, more expansive and rewarding life. Some people have both a coach and a therapist, each using different approaches to work on different issues. COACHING VS. CONSULTING The expertise of a consultant is in their information in a specific field. They are hired to analyze a situation and to propose recommendations. My expertise as your coach is in people and in the dynamics of life and success. Utilize my coaching skills to accomplish more challenging goals more quickly, to expand your skills and capacities, to transform your perspectives, and to find greater joy and contentment in your relationships and in your life. According to research, after one year consulting is only about 15% effective where coaching is about 80% effective. |
