The Difference between Coaching and Therapy

As I'm now a student again - I've enrolled in classes back at my alma mater NYU - I'm going to be sharing some of my learnings...

The Difference between Coaching & Therapy

Coaching is collaborative, creative, empowering, self-directed, goal oriented, positve and specific. Therapy is clinical, requires expertise in diagnosis and assessment, is problem focused, healing, and deals often with the past.

Coaching is a learning developmental model that focuses on goals and possibilities. Therapy is a medical clinical model that deals with identifiable dysfunctions.

As a coach my role is as a catalyst for change. I offer perspectives and help clients discover their own answers. As a coach I'm responsible for the process, the client is responsible for results.

Back from France

I'm recently back from a business trip to France and Italy. I've traveled there before, but it's the first time I was at the Cote d'Azur - spectacular! This is the town of Villefranche - quaint, beautiful and picturesque. I'm always amazed by the lifestyle of the Europeans, I've now grown to love the 12-2pm shut down for lunch ... time to run personal errands, meet with friends, have lunch with family ... it's so civilized and they seem to have happy balanced lives ... something I strive for.
