This emerging trend of coaching is also an excellent tool for combating the isolation that so many business people experience, whether they're in a home-based business or work as the CEO of a Fortune 100 company in a corner office with glass walls on the top floor. In both scenarios executive isolation is huge and responsibility is weighty. Confidentiality and trust in the coaching relationship allow open and free discussion between the coach and client. Coaches are ever only as successful as their clients are in reaching their goals. And coaches do whatever the clients need to support them in their journey.
Clients know that their coaches are their partners and are committed to their success.
Consultants and coaches differ greatly in their service and how it is delivered. A consultant assesses a situation. When he makes a recommendation regarding the situation at hand, he has completed the project and leaves. A coach ensures his clients accountability for the duration of the relationship. The client must reveal his goals and his plans for achieving them.
