CONSULTING AND COACHING

Coaching and consulting—in Meta-Coaching we say that coaching is not consulting and that consulting is not coaching, that these are very different modalities for interacting and working with people. We say that consulting is giving expert advice and coaching is process facilitation of the self-actualizing drive and potentials in people.

Yet also in Meta-Coaching we say something else. We say that you need to consult in order to coach. What does that mean? It means that the consulting skills are required in the process of selling coaching to an individual or a business or a corporation. And that means there is a time and place to present your expert knowledge about coaching, about process facilitation, about self- actualization, about how people tap into and unleash their potentials, about change, about organizational change, about cultural change, about working systemically with an individual or an organization, etc.
