E44: Coach vs. Consultant-What's the Difference?

Broadcast on:
15 May 2024

Dr. Jean, The Results Queen® discusses the differences between coaches and consultants. Coaches work with individuals to nurture them and help them reach specific goals through accountability and action steps. They focus on long-term growth without a clear beginning or end. Consultants work on specific projects with clear timelines, providing strategic answers and solutions but not implementation support. Consultants have specialized expertise in areas like strategy or technology. Dr. Jean advises hiring a mix of coaches and consultants as needed and asking what outcomes and results to expect to ensure a good return on investment.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Coaches are Long Term Accountability Partners: Coaches work with individuals long-term to nurture growth through accountability and action steps.
  • Consultants are Specific: Consultants work on specific projects and provide strategic answers and solutions but not implementation support.
  • Specialized Insights: Consultants have specialized expertise in areas like strategy or technology.
  • You Need Both: It's good to hire both coaches and consultants as needed for different purposes.
  • Your ROI: Ask potential coaches and consultants about expected outcomes and results to ensure a good return on investment.
