Agreed. A coach is much more involved in your evolution than a consultant could ever be! The word "consultant" just sounds so COLD!

Another word for coach could be conductor ... like the guy who stands in front of the orchestra (not the guy on the London bus!) keeping everyone playing to the same score.

The only thing I'll say is that Vince Lombardi, a coach, never was a spectacular football player nor did he play on a championship team, and I think anyone with more than two cents knows he did more than hold people accountable. As far as Tiger's coach goes, a bit more than accountability as well, including teaching Tiger a completely new swing 5 years ago when Tiger was developing back problems.

Just another way of saying unemployed. Everyone these days seems to be a coach or a consultant. At a recent networking event I met at least a dozen people claiming to be a coach or a consultant. Just because you have worked in a profession for X number of years does not mean you have the brains, talent or ability to coach or consult on that profession. The only thing a coach brings to the table is accountability, which some people need. Tiger Woods coach keeps him accountable to his training but does not show him anything new. If he did he would have a green jacket and be winning on tour. Just my 2 cents. In this economy they are both the same. Just another way of saying unemployed.

The best consultants get to be the best by BECOMING more like coaches. They get hired to do a job, and end up cultivating a process. And it involves guiding, teaching, inspiring, and holding people accountable, something that most consultants seem not to do. Great coaches are great mentors and friends. Great organizations are those in which mentoring is ongoing, and becomes like coaching. Thanks for Twittering your new site! Great start! I think you’re right!

Thx for great post. You mentioned consulting for companies, but how about a coach working a company? Does that work, or should the company focus on hiring a team of coaches? How does mentoring fit into the picture; is a coach an experienced mentor? Lot's of questions, but would love to hear your reply. Makes complete sense, Craig. Thx for great post.

Is this applicable with IT professionals too? Because I haven't heard anyone from our ranks to be called a Database Coach or a Web Developer Coach. Hi Craig!
