A consultant offers advice and expertise to help the client achieve their goals. In other words, a consultant provides the answers and perhaps even does some or all of the work.

Consulting and coaching are very different. While a coach helps the client develop and use their own skills, the consultant actually supplies those skills. Thus, while they might seem very similar at first, coaching and consulting are in fact almost opposites of each other.

When working with clients, I may mix consulting and coaching. This depends on each client's needs and desires and a mutual agreement on the best way to proceed.
