2. The difference between being a coach or being a consultant
It's all about how they help others. A coach coaches an individual client who wants to improve either professionally or personally. The coach acts as a trained facilitator and can sometimes help with group work as well. A coach can be a life coach, helping the client improve their personal life, as a professional coach, helping the client improve their professional image or career. Coaches help clients reach decisions and find goals by asking the client questions about what they want and helping clients to discover what they want on their own. A coach will help the client in many areas of their lives, and provide support for the client as they work. This is often a creative process.
3. What a Consultant Does ?
A consultant provides advice and recommendations on a specific topic, such as software choices. A consultant works with a group of people within an organization. A consultant will analyze a company's plan for a specific task and give recommendations. A consultant may solve problems for a company or organization by giving advice or by providing training to employees on specific software or procedures. Consulting generally focuses on a single problem or specific question the company wants solved or answered. Consulting is a more business like process than coaching.
