What is a Mentor, Coach or Consultant
There are many different ways I could describe what I do, and each one of them would be right, but no one thing would tell the full story.
The following diagram is the best way for me to explain how Purple Squirrel adds value to other businesses.
One of the simplest ways that I have used to explain the difference between a consultant, a coach and a mentor is this. It is a very broad, sweeping statement, and there are obviously exceptions and nuances to this, but here goes:
- A Consultant will do it for you
- A Coach has read lots of books and can tell you how to do it
- A Mentor has already done it and can lead by example
I am all of those things, and use whichever technique is most relevant for you and your situation
