How does business coaching differ from therapy, a best friend, or self-management?
Business coaching is not therapy. Business coaching is you focused, and the focus is on your desired future. By the use of your business coachs insight and use of powerful questioning you gain forward movement by identifying your goals and designing specific strategies to reach them. A best friend is great to have and important. However, usually friends are not trained professionals whose purpose is to partner with you and work on your agenda only. Also, a friend wants to keep you as a friend and will not always tell you what you may need to hear. Your business coach will in a caring and respectful way! Finally, blind spots can be an issue with self-management and a business coach can provide an outside, unbiased point of view. More importantly, having a business coach imparts a sense of accountability and sustains the momentum for moving forward from week to week.
