choice thoughts
From The Managing Editor
There is no growth without
change, and sometimes stepping
outside your comfort zone can take
you to new levels of success. That’s
the message I got from this issue of
choice. By combining the best of
coaching and consulting, you can
differentiate yourself and add value
to your clients.
Our experts have weighed in on
the many ways coaching and consulting
can work to take your business to
the next level. In our opening cover
story, Madeleine Homan Blanchard
and Dr. Linda Miller outline how to
meet client expectations by artfully
blending the strengths of “close
cousins” coaching and consulting.
Next up, Janet Harvey looks at
coaching and consulting through the
lens of wholeness and uncovers a
synergistic, win-win-win formula.
Pauline Fleming explains why clients
are seeking a coach-consultant
hybrid who will support them
through a variety of challenges. And
in our final feature, Gail Barker outlines
how niche coaching integrates
the best of coaching and consulting.
Our columns also pick up the
theme of coaching and consulting,
with Suzi Pomerantz giving her
“perspective” that marketing yourself
as a consultant can increase your
revenue. Phillip Sandahl in “corporate
leadership” lays the groundwork
for wearing the multiple hats of
coach, consultant and trainer when
working with teams. And in our
“impact” column, Miguel Bonilla
and Bobbi Hahn demonstrate how
coaching and consulting can help
the nonprofit sector improve its
effectiveness. In our “entrepreneur
coach” column, Michel Neray
explains how you can build your business
by digging deeper into the elements
that differentiate you from the
rest. And of course this issue is also
chock full of the tips, tools and experiential
learning you’ve come to
expect from choice.
In short, this issue is about setting
yourself apart by taking the best of
coaching and consulting, combining
them with the best you have to offer,
and providing the very best value
and impact to your clients.
Perhaps Benjamin Franklin said it
best: “Without continual growth
and progress, such words as
improvement, achievement and
success have no meaning.” •
