Coaching, Consulting, Therapy and Mentoring: What is the difference?



Coaching is about empowering your client by asking questions, facilitating strategic planning and monitoring tactical execution.


Therapy is about helping your client by listening and offering advice and sharing coping skills.


Consulting is about having all the answers and solutions to help your client with a specific task.


Mentoring is a combination of coaching and consulting. As a mentor, you will empower your mentee by asking questions, sharing valuable experiences, giving advice and directions for success.


All four of these disciplines require great listening skills.

Coaching on the other hand, requires the ability to ask contemplative questions that will help a client to better know themselves.


To recap:
