What is CoachSulting?

CoachSulting is a combination of pure coaching and consulting that is designed to help you overcome areas of weaknesses and continue to build on areas of strengths. Most organizations or individuals seek to hire a traditional coach, yet once the coaching has begun, they often realize that in addition to coaching they are missing key tools or approaches that only an experienced consultant can provide.

That is why we created CoachSultants, so that our clients can receive the best of both worlds with sessions that are tailored to their needs with a single individual CoachSultant.

Coaching vs. Consulting

In the dynamic realm of personal and professional development, the terms coaching and consulting are often used interchangeably, leading to confusion regarding their distinct purpose and approach. While both play crucial roles in fostering growth, they diverge in fundamental ways, each offering a unique set of skills and approaches.

Coaching is a collaborative process focused on unlocking an individual's potential and facilitating self-discovery. A coach acts as a guide, employing powerful questioning techniques and active listening to help clients explore their goals and aspirations. The emphasis in coaching lies in drawing out the client's innate abilities, fostering self-awareness, and encouraging responsibility for one's actions. This approach is akin to navigating uncharted waters, where the coach provides the compass direction, and the client pilots the ship.

Consulting, on the other hand, is characterized by providing expert advice and solutions to specific challenges. Consultants are subject matter experts who offer specialized knowledge to address organizational issues and/or personal dilemmas. Unlike coaching, consulting involves a more directive approach, where the consultant analyzes the situation, diagnoses problems, and collaboratively develops solutions with the individual being consulted. It is comparable to having a skilled navigator on board, providing guidance to you as the ship’s captain through known waters with precision and expertise.

Divergent Approaches, Common Goals

While coaching and consulting diverge in their approaches, they share a common objective: facilitating growth and development. Coaching is rooted in the belief that individuals possess the answers within themselves, while consulting operates on the premise of leveraging external expertise to drive results. The key lies in beginning with the understanding your existing self-coaching strength and your consulting knowledge that are tied to your specific personal and organizational needs.

Our Goal

Our goal at CoachSultants.com is to provide every client a turn-key solution to meet their personal and professional needs. This is accomplished by allowing the flexibility of the CoachSultant to help function as the compass and the navigator when appropriate to get the client to their next personal and/or professional destination as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Meet your CoachSultant

Hi, I’m Dr. Kevin Gazzara, this is me at 10 years old and me today.

I am an ICF certified coach, a Positive Intelligence® (PQ®) Mental Fitness certified coach, and a certified master life coach. I’ve been a successful professional business/executive coach and consultant for the past 16+ years helping leaders grow their organizations while retaining their best people. I’ve had the pleasure to work with all levels of management from CEOs to first-line supervisors of small to medium private companies to multi-billion dollar publicly traded organizations.

Background

I spent 29 years in industries ranging from heavy equipment to high-tech. I’ve held full P&L positions as General Manager for Transamerica DeLaval and Imo Industries, and as Product Manager and General Manager for Intel Corporation. I successfully managed Intel University and Intel’s first and mid-level management and leadership global residential programs for 10 years before I retired in 2007. In addition, I’ve pursued my passion for teaching as a leadership professor at 6 universities since 1996.

Today, I am the Founder and Senior Partner of Magna Leadership Solutions established in 2007, and the coauthor of the acclaimed book “The Leader of OZ” which has been recognized by BusinessDay as one of the top ten must read business books. I’ve been globally recognized as a Management and Leadership expert, see the cover story of my work in Workforce Magazine.

Education

I hold a B.S. in Commerce and Engineering, an MBA, and a Doctorate of Management in Organizational Leadership.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kevin Gazzara, ACC

He perfectly balanced empathy for me and challenged me to think, act, and speak on a plane of leadership I did not know was accessible to me. The transformation was so deep that it not only impacted my participation at work but also my personal relationships outside it as well.
