Consulting generally involves providing expert advice and solutions on specific business problems or projects.
Consultants analyse a company's operations, market position or strategy and deliver recommendations or implemented solutions.
Typical services include operational improvements, market entry strategies, financial restructuring, technology implementation and sales funnel optimisation.
Consulting is often project-based and can be one-to-many or one-to-one.
In corporate environments, consulting can involve working with C-suite executives or specific departments to optimise parts of the business.

Coaching is a personalised, often one-on-one discipline focused on helping business leaders and entrepreneurs achieve higher performance levels.
Executive coaching targets CEO's and senior leaders, focusing on leadership growth, accountability,. mindset shifts and strategic thinking.
Unlike mentoring (friendly advice) or consulting (expert recommendations), coaching deconstructs the clients business and thinking, holding them accountable to executing plans and stretching beyond comfort zones.
Coaches help clients step back, reflect on their decisions and drive consistent growth by overcoming personal organisational barriers.
Coaching often includes helping identify what should already be known but is overlooked, making the business model repeatable and scalable.
It's relationship-driven and continuous, often integrated into ongoing leadership development and business transformation.
