Many businesses who have not used a coach before are confused about the differences and distinctions between business coaching and consulting. In a nutshell, a coach works with you to discover the issues in your business and suggests solutions and provides advice, but leave you to implement the solutions. A consultant implements the solution for the business.
Advantages of a Coach are that the owner is more likely to learn how to problem solve themselves by watching the coach at work and through implementing themselves, they become empowered with a good coach ultimately doing themselves out of a job! By undertaking the implementation themselves, the owner also saves a lot of money. This approach is also ideal for the owners of smaller businesses with turnover under $1 million.
Advantages of a Consultant is that the implementation is done by someone else, and it is likely to be done more quickly. Obviously there is a higher cost for this, and the consultants knowledge leaves when they do. However, there are clear advantages of a turnkey solution, and at certain times it is the right answer, particularly if it is a one-of situation or a skill which is only needed occasionally. It is also an ideal solution for larger, more established businesses where the timeliness of the implementation of changes is important.
