Q1. What is the difference between a Consultant, Contractor and Business Coach?
A consultant usually has a specific area of specialty and typically perform an analysis and provide a final report giving you their observations and recommendations. This will cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars up to $100k or more depending on the company and the size and scope of the project. In some cases a separate bid is provided for implementation services but that can be very expensive. More often than not recommendations are not implemented and the final report gets put on a shelf and collects dust.
A contractor provides a specific service for your organization and is a alternative to hiring your own staff. They play a crucial role in small businesses where an owner can not afford to hire specialty staff yet they need the specific expertise across multiple disciplines.
A business coach does not engage in the actual day to day work of the organization. They usually have a broad range of experience and expertise in business. The coach is available for the entire journey starting with where you are today and helping you get to where you want to be in the next 3 - 36 months. Typical coaching plans include up to 4 meetings per month and usually start out with a planning session to clarify the vision and establish a strategy map. From there 1-3 target areas are picked to begin implementation. The plan is evaluated each quarter to ensure that the organization is hitting the targets that provide the greatest impact to the organization.

Q2. What is Consulcoaching?
Consulcoaching is a hybrid of consulting, contract work and business coaching. It combines the best of each discipline and puts the needs of the client and their organization first, providing exactly what they need when they need it.

Q3. Why do you offer Consulcoaching?
I found that many of the business owners, camp directors and non-profit leaders that I talk with need help getting their projects implemented. In some cases the best solution is for me to jump in and lend a direct hand by providing interim leadership. Other times good project management is required. And of course, sometimes leaders just need the weekly accountability and encouragement of a coach.
By providing these options it limits the number of clients I can serve but I am passionate about the assignments that I take and would rather implement several meaningful projects per year and make less per month than to have a full docket of coaching clients that may or may not be committed to change.

While there may be other ways to accomplish these objectives, the reality is that small business owners are busy and do not have the same support structure as larger corporations. A a coach, I help you level the playing field and provide accelerated growth in helping you accomplish your objectives.
