I get asked these questions from time to time by those who are honest and curious enough to ask, some remain confused.
Coaching is not a well known term as it is in other parts of the world like in the US, so lets start by describing each:
– #Consulting – consultants are paid to come up with answers, they strive for objectivity and clarity of the task at hand, providing quantitative analysis and solutions to the problems.
– #Therapy – focuses on the past and diagnoses dysfunctionality through a process of solutions based on medical ethics. Typically these are paid for personally by the individual.
– #Coaching – focuses on the future and fosters individual #performance in a #business context and helps leaders discover their own path and solutions.
There are also some overlaps:
In #Consulting and in #Coaching, both advise individual leaders on business matters, including #goalsetting based on organisational ethics and often are paid for by the company.
In #Therapy and in #Coaching, both get paid to ask the right questions, often to tackle difficult issues at work/home, looking at #behavioural change and exploring subjective experience.

My wife and i felt really fortunate Ervin managed to finish up his homework through the ideas he made from your very own web page. It is now and again perplexing just to always be giving for free tricks other people might have been making money from. We figure out we have the blog owner to thank because of that. All of the explanations you made, the easy website menu, the friendships you can give support to create – it’s got all wonderful, and it’s assisting our son and us believe that this issue is exciting, which is certainly seriously important. Many thanks for all!
I have really learned some new things through your website. One other thing I’d really like to say is that often newer computer system operating systems usually allow additional memory for use, but they in addition demand more memory space simply to perform. If someone’s computer cannot handle extra memory along with the newest application requires that storage increase, it can be the time to shop for a new Laptop. Thanks
