What is the difference between coaching and counselling?
Counsellor knows something that client does not. Therefore he analyses the situation first and then advises what kind of steps the client should take. Systemic coach is not an expert in your job or your personal life. The coach is an expert in supporting and helping you in creating solutions and in reaching goals. The coach would therefore expect you to describe the status that you want to achieve and the coach will help you to uncover your knowledge, abilities, creativity and strengths to find the best solution leading to the final status. You will pay more attention to the solutions than to the problem itself. Solutions are not advised or created by the coach, but by the client. It is much more possible for the client to follow his own solution with more passion than to follow solutions given by the coach.
