How is Coaching Different from Consulting?

Coaching: As a professional coach, I facilitate discovery and empowerment. Coaching is a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to uncover and clarify your goals and supports you in closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Consulting: As a consultant, I deliver recommendations and guide the implementation of specific solutions to improve your organization’s performance. I would be happy to discuss how I might be a fit for your consulting project, or to recommend other professionals who align with your goals.

How It Works

  • Hourly Coaching Sessions: Flexible one-on-one scheduling using my booking link. Remote coaching sessions tailored to your needs and availability.

  • Coach Approach: You decide what specific challenge or opportunity you want to address during each session, and together we’ll partner to uncover solutions and action plans through reflective conversation.

  • Action-Oriented: Gain insights, build awareness, and develop concrete next steps to make progress towards your goals.

  • Want to learn more? Feel free to send me an email to ask any questions, or schedule a free discovery call to see how we can work together.
