You're thinking you need a business career coach or consultant.  But first, one of the biggest considerations is: Do you have time to invest in yourself?  Is there a gap between where you are and where you want to be?  If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then read on. . .

Are you willing to change the self-defeating behaviors that limit your professional success?  If yes, keep reading.

Here's more to think about.  If you are fully willing to do the work required to get you where you want to go; are willing to follow through between sessions and take responsibility for the implementation of your goals and objectives, then it may be time for you to consider working with a coach or consultant.

But which one do you need?

Based on an analogy by Karyn Greenstreet (a Self Employment expert); "a business coach will help you understand how and why you ride a bicycle, help you determine what's holding you back from riding properly, and jog along next to you as you ride. One the other hand, a business consultant will explain why one bike is superior to another, teach you how to ride the bike, and if necessary, ride the bike for you."

bulletA coach focuses on learning through the process of self discovery and exploration of dreams and goals.  A coach guides the client through the use of the "right" questions.
bulletA consultant is someone who is an expert and brings the knowledge and experience to the situation that makes the difference in the client's success.  Consulting usually focuses on problem solving, strategies, and action plans.  A consultant gives the client the "answers".

If you are looking to solve a specific professional business problem, then a consultant will probably work best for you.  If your problem is more personal in nature, then a coach may work better for you.

Rinker and Associates combines the best of both professions and works as a business career "coach-consultant".  We believe the success of business, organizational, and career transition is derived from both professional and personal aspects of life.  That means we provide advice and guidance when you need it, inspire and motivate you when you get stuck, and share knowledge and expertise with you all along the way.
