Questions and answers about my work as a business, couples & single coach based in Bad Hersfeld, Hesse:

What’s the difference between business coaching and consulting?

Both a business coach and a business consultant begin by reflecting on the current state of things — for example, workflows, structures, human resources, internal and external communication, and, where appropriate, the numbers (accounts), as well as the lived company philosophy, motivations, and much more. Depending on the brief, an experienced coach or consultant can make positive interventions in production, sales, logistics, marketing, HR, staff development, or leadership. I tend to describe myself as an entrepreneur coach rather than a company coach, because I primarily coach the leadership personally and only rarely run a coaching seminar for staff—though that’s possible. Too often, seminars are booked for employees while the boss doesn’t take part; I try to avoid that.
