Coaching for Work involves assisting managers, supervisors and executives in developing their leadership skills through individual coaching. Group Coaching and Mastermind groups are also offered.

How Is Coaching Different from Counseling? Consulting?

Coaching is not counseling though some counselors take a coaching approach to therapy. The focus of coaching is to clarify what you, as a coaching client, wish to accomplish and what plan of action you need to take to get you there. Coaching is focused on the future and the actionable strategies for achieving specific goals in your personal or professional life.

Counseling focuses on healing pain or conflict within an individual or between individuals. The focus is often on resolving difficulties arising from the past which may be hampering action in the present.

Consulting involves determ ining potential solutions for workplace challenges. Consultants will advise you on a course of action and may work with you to execute those suggestions.

Consider your wanting to ride a bike. A counseling process might involve understanding why you want to ride the bike. A consultant might advise you on the most appropriate bike-riding strategy given your resources and destination. Coaching would focus on where you want to go and help you achieve your goal of getting there.
