How is coaching different from consulting or therapy?

Coaching is comparable to consulting except that the coach stays focused on the clients agenda, not his/her own, and stays with the client as long as the client sees the value he/she is receiving in implementing the new skills, changes, and goals.

Coaching is NOT therapy. Coaches do not focus on understanding past behavior or emotional stress of the client. If therapy is what client needs, we will ask that they deal with those issues with trained therapists before beginning the coaching relationship. Once those issues are addressed, coaching will help create quantum leaps in performance. The coaching partnership is future-bound without the restraints of history.
