More than a business advisor many coaches deal with the whole person. Godin says, When I start with a new client, we boil that person s life down to get to the real person. Coaches can help a client define their function in various roles. Arthurs says, Coaches are like a sculptor, helping the client release what is already inside them like a sculptor releases what is already inside the stone. We help our clients design a life filled with purpose.
Accountability is the buzzword.
We see it as an ongoing partnership with the client to accelerate the clients learning, performance, and progress in their personal and professional lives. Coaches provide a safety zone, they facilitate clarity and self discovery, foster effective action and is the clients champion for success. Gloria Tom Wing Staudt of Peak Success Coaching says, Coaches provide a structure for accountability, feedback and momentum to produce meaningful results in both personal and professional lives. Consultants are often external experts that identify challenges or obstacles and either write reports on their findings or fix the problem themselves. Coaches, on the other hand, often help the client to discover the challenge on their own and then help them implement a strategy to remove the obstacle and to ensure that not only do they correct the problem but often learn to deal with similar circumstances in the future.
