What is business consulting? 👔
Business consulting and coaching are two complementary approaches to support entrepreneurs, managers, freelancers, and project leaders in achieving success and optimizing their professional activity.
They both aim to provide clarity, strategy and efficiency, but with different methods:
- The consultant provides expertise, advice and concrete solutions.
- The business coach helps you find your own answers by working on your blockages.
- In both cases you have a high, external approach that allows you to take a step back.
More and more professionals today offer hybrid support, combining strategic consulting and posture coaching.
Who is this type of support for? 🙋♂️
- Entrepreneurs in launch
- Entrepreneurs in repositioning
- Freelancers who want to structure themselves
- Managers of growing VSEs/SMEs
- Managers of VSEs/SMEs in crisis
- Project leaders seeking clarity
- Innovative project leaders without support
- Manager in search of strategy
- Managers or team leaders
How does business coaching work? 📙
Support generally takes place in several structured stages:
Audit / Initial assessment
The first essential step: a diagnostic interview to understand your current situation, your goals, your blockages, and lay the foundations for the program. Depending on your needs, this audit may include:
- Analysis of your business model
- Review of your offers, prices, communication
- Clarification of your target and your positioning
- Identification of internal brakes (doubts, fears, mental overload)
Individual working sessions
Each session lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours. Depending on the case, we alternate:
- Strategic consulting sessions (action plan, organization, offer structure, sales funnel, tools, automation, etc.)
- And pure coaching phases (decision-making, posture, confidence, alignment, fears related to money or success)
- A moment of meta-analysis to understand things in the third person
- Ideation and innovation or feedback sessions
- Intensive rebound training
- Mastery of the concepts to be mastered and the fundamentals
The schedule is set at the start (weekly, bi-monthly, etc.). Some packages also include intensive days or group workshops.
⚠️ Punctuality: Any delay exceeding 15 minutes without warning will result in the session being cancelled, which will be considered due.
Follow-up between sessions
Support often includes post-session discussions, to stay on track and adjust if necessary:
- By email (questions, feedback, validation of deliverables)
- By SMS or direct messaging (fast support, motivation boost)
- Sharing documents, templates, practical tools as needed
- Call: in case of urgent need or need to communicate in person
4. End of program debriefing
A final session allows you to:
- Take stock of progress and results
- Consolidate learning
- Establish a long-term autonomy or monitoring plan
Multi-domain coaching and interconnections 🌾
Good business coaching takes into account the human element behind the project. Because the performance of a business depends on multiple dimensions:
- Organization and strategy
- Leadership and posture
- Emotional and mental state
- Vision, meaning and personal alignment
- Personal life / work-life balance
This is what we call systemic coaching, which acts on both the structure of the business AND the inner structure of the entrepreneur.
