Is Coaching the same as Consulting?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

As a Coach, do you give \u2018advice\u2019 and tell the client what to do?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the difference between coaching and consulting, and whether a coach behaves the same way as a consultant does towards clients.<\/p>

A consultant is employed for their knowledgeable input to take charge and make things happen. A coach on the other hand is more client-centred in their approach, aiming to empower the client to recognise their strengths and make their own decisions.<\/p>

In short, Coaching is not consulting or telling the client what to do.<\/p>

Here\u2019s a longer breakdown of the key differences between Coaching and Consulting\u2026<\/em><\/p>

Consulting<\/h4>
CONSULTING<\/strong>\u00a0is about taking charge and making decisions, often with a technical team on board. Consultants are paid to utilise their knowledge, skills, and expertise in a particular area to provide solutions and fix problems.<\/span><\/div>

Consultants are task-oriented, which could mean a short or long-term contract, and focused solely on the outcome.<\/p>

Consultants don\u2019t deal in behaviour or mindset change and won\u2019t consider your thoughts or feelings very much at all.<\/p>

Coaching<\/h4>
\u00a0COACHING<\/strong>\u00a0is client-centred and usually conducted one-to-one. Coaches support the best interests of the client \u2013 every session is\u00a0<\/span>about<\/em>\u00a0them and\u00a0<\/span>for<\/em>\u00a0them. They\u2019re the one paying after all!<\/span><\/div>

A coach, especially a Holistic Life Coach<\/a>, learns to pose their questions and suggestions in such a way to engage the clients\u2019 own mind and inner resources, and empowers their ability to ultimately choose what feels best for them with the right mindset, attitude, self-knowledge, and tools to guide them.<\/p>

Self-responsibility is empowering. Having someone else do it for you when it\u2019s a more personal investment, simply won\u2019t work for long-term change.<\/p>

People usually already know what to do but don\u2019t have the confidence, motivation, resources, support or self-belief to actually do it on their own. This is where a qualified Holistic Life Coach comes in!<\/p>

If you\u2019re a Holistic Life & Mindset Coach\u2026<\/h4>
\u00a0Your job isn\u2019t to take over and advise or tell your client what to do like you\u2019re the expert. The client is their own expert, even if they don\u2019t realise that in the beginning.<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
As a qualified coach, you help build their confidence, clear the fear, expand their perspectives with new information, connect them with their existing skills and strengths, and help them build confidence and belief in themselves to achieve their desired change with your support, accountability, and guidance..<\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This approach requires a\u00a0collaborative<\/em>\u00a0partnership, where the paying client puts their investment and trust into the Coach to help them learn what\u2019s holding them back and how to get unstuck and feel confident within themselves to take ownership of their choices in life.<\/p>

The aim is to help your client not only move forward and create change, but maintain the outcome independently, long after your coaching ceases.<\/p>

We encourage our holistic coaching students to light the way and empower their clients with self-awareness, mindset shifts, and behaviour change tools to support them for life. You can\u2019t do the changing for them!<\/p>
