COACHING vs. OTHER PROFESSIONS:
	Q: What Is The Difference Between Coaching & Mentoring?	A: The role of a mentor is usually to nurture an individual and pass on their professional knowledge. Although a good mentor may adopt a coaching approach, they tend to give a considerable amount of advice. A Coach is an expert in releasing the potential of the individual. I ask powerful questions so that you come up with your own solutions. I am unbiased and impartial in wanting the best for you. We work on the whole of your life, not just a career path.
	Q: What Is The Difference Between Coaching & Therapy?	A: Coaching is proactive and moves clients forward. Therapy usually deals with healing past emotional hurt. Therapy often paves the way for highly effective coaching, but they are distinct and focus on different issues. If during Coaching, it seems that a therapeutic approach may be more appropriate, clients are supported to find a suitable alternative.
	Q: What Is The Difference Between Coaching & Consultancy?	A: Consultants usually come in as experts to assess situations and advise on what action to take. A Coach helps you access your own expertise and use your creativity to find lasting solutions. You are more accountable for taking action and more committed to getting specific results.
