Most Frequently Asked Questions

Is Coaching appropriate and available for short -term specific projects?

How is Coaching different from other disciplines like, consultanting, mentoring etc?

• motivational workers show you the carrot
  

• mentors help you learn the ropes
  

• trainers show you how
  

• consultants give you the solution
  

• therapists presume a pathology and help you see why you do what you do
  

Coaches are not about analyzing why you do what you do, instead they focus on your strengths.  Coaches do not give you solutions, they help you find  solutions, then hold you accountable for acting on them. Coaches don't show you how to do things,  they help YOU learn what you need to know to accomplish what you want to accomplish.
