To effectively support my clients, I find myself in three roles: consultant – mentor – coach. As a consultant, I tell them what they need to do to solve their issues. This is an immediate fix to help them with the challenges they are facing right now, but it often does not have long-lasting value. They aren’t learning how to get to these conclusions by themselves.  As a mentor, I teach and share my experience, so clients have a deeper insight into the issues and challenges they are facing. As a coach, I do not tell, but rather ask questions that enable others to develop their own path. Clients who create their own visions and strategies are far more likely to implement and sustain them—and get the results they are hoping for.
