Coaching Services
A coach is your partner in helping you realize your goals. Coaching for business clients entails working one-on-one with your employees to help them realize their highest potential.
If you have an employee who is not performing to expectations, I can help! Services include:
- Observational assessment of employee and employee’s work processes
- Hands-on coaching related to workflow and office space set up
- Strategies for organization
- Time management tips
- Identifying barriers to success
- Data management recommendations
- Development of organizational systems
- Training for maintenance of those systems

What is the difference between a consultant and a coach?
Here’s a helpful chart from the Support Center for Nonprofit Management that explains the differences:
| Consultant | Coach |
|---|---|
| Even when one person is the main client contact, the consultant usually works with more than one person, often in a team, group, board, or department | Works on a one-to-one basis; may coach more than one person in an organization, individually |
| Structures projects for specific deliverable or result, which the consultant is primarily responsible for | Supports the client to achieve her or his own result or outcome |
| Usually problem-focused, i.e., identifies and tries to correct problems or weaknesses | Builds on the client's strengths |
| Regarded as the "expert" who will solve problems (the magic bullet) | Enables the client to solve problems or change things for the better |
| Consultant brings technical expertise to advise on solutions | Coach brings relationship expertise to support the client's solutions |
| If behavior change is needed, consultant generally does not get involved in it | A focus on individual and interpersonal dynamics supports behavior change |
| Gathers data and reports on what needs to be done | Facilitates growth |
| Time-limited; generally short-term and project-oriented results | Occurs over a period of time that generally involves renewable contracts; focused on long-term results |
| Provides information | Promotes self-discovery |
| Goals generally related to programs and funding | Values-based goal setting |
| Requires limited commitment from client to implement | Maximizes client's commitment to implement solutions |
