Recently, for example, a well established company in Oregon was put up for sale at a cost less that its true value because the owner wouldn't dismiss the CFO, and as a result experienced a decline in business. With the support of a coach, the owner could've avoided this unfortunate situation. 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.
