As your coach, I will maintain client confidentiality to the full extent. I honor the client’s confidence, and do not discuss our coaching sessions with anyone. We both agree to a foundation of honesty, trust and respect, and understand that your ultimate well-being is the central focus of the coaching relationship. A coaching agreement will be signed to ensure confidentiality.

All success experts agree that in order for you to create new habits and make lasting change in your life, a commitment of time is necessary. Coaching sessions are booked in weekly or monthly increments. If you’re really committed to your dreams, then you’ll be committed to investing few months of your time to seriously working towards them.

Simply put, coaching is about growing the person, the business owner, from the inside out. Coaching helps you to determine goals that match your highest potential, create a realistic plan to achieve those goals, discover how you self-sabotage your business, and be accountable for achieving goals within a planned time frame. While your coach might offer you insight and advice, the primary purpose of coaching is to empower YOU to learn how to create the business of your dreams.

Consulting brings the expertise of the consultant into the mix. A consultant offers information, advice, brainstorming and training. Look for a consultant who has achieved what you want to achieve, someone who is willing to share all their knowledge, wisdom and practical tips with you.

You need a coach if you want help in:

• Organizing your thoughts
• Creating a practical and effective plan
• Prioritize goals and tasks
• Being more accountable for following through on tasks
• Maintaining high motivation even in the face of difficulties
• Understanding how you sabotage your efforts (and figuring out what to do about this self-sabotage)

You need a consultant if you want:

• The advice and experience of someone who is successfully self-employed.
• To understand the basics of business planning and management.
• To learn business skills in a rapid fashion.
• To find ways to manage and follow-up on your business success.

I strongly encourage business owners to use me as a coach-consultant so they could try both services.

It is your call and you can stop immediately if coaching is not working for you at any moment.
Usually the minimum recommended period is one month to see some results. Although on average, most people find coaching more beneficial than they realized and stay on longer than they initially anticipated—typically 9 months to a year.

These questions should help you decided. The Coaching process will focus on finding answers and designing plans to move forward towards your desired goals and ambitions.
