What’s The Difference Between Coaching, Consulting & Implementation

In a nutshell, Coaching, Consulting & Implementation (CC&I) is the coach drawing information “out” while the consultant puts information “in” and the implementation unites everything into a systemized, bite-sized, one small step-at-a-time achievable path and plan.

• Coaching – Coaching is all about unlocking our members’ potential to maximize their own performance.  It is about guiding members to a place of self-directed learning rather than teaching. Power in Partnership™ is collaboration between the coach and an individual and/or team that support the achievement of extra-ordinary results. Coaching is about guiding members to set realistic, reachable and quantifiable goals that help a team move forward into action.  As coaches, we are companions who walk alongside our members through their explorative journey.
• Consulting – Consultants analyze data and advise members of best practices to help them make the best possible choices. Consulting is about teaching and evaluating strategic plans to help members meet their “Money Plan” goals.  As consultants, we provide information-based expertise while showing you the “what,” “where,” “when,” “how” and “why” supported by tracking and measurement.
• Implementation – Implementation focuses specifically on supporting members through teaching and the implementation of LWP Systems and Processes into their practices.  Implementation always anchors back to the LWP tools and demonstrates how the processes intertwine and support each other.   

Every journey begins with a destination in mind.  Whether your goal is to create an efficient and profitable practice, a purpose-driven practice that has a lasting impact on your community, or a saleable practice that leaves a legacy for your family, CC & I provides controlled growth, increases revenue and creates practice efficiency that helps reduce costs, improve operating margins and creates consistent cash flow.

Regardless of your destination, the CC & I program within Lawyers with Purpose provides members with a guide and a compass to assist with the journey.  Allowing lawyers to make a difference with a comprehensive approach of:

Be (Coaching) + Do (Consulting) + Have (Implementation) = A practice with purpose…a Lawyer with Purpose.
