The Speak to Scale Podcast Jessica Rasdall

If you’ve transitioned into a role where you’re helping others achieve a desired result, you may be unsure what to call yourself. You are not alone! You may have heard the words “coach” and “consultant” used interchangeably and you’re not sure what the difference really is. Maybe you’ve shifted away from being a service provider and started sharing your expertise with others. We see this quite often when our students and speakers are growing as educators.
Although this may sound like a business issue, it also impacts your speaking strategy. On this episode of The Speak to Scale Podcast we’re breaking down the difference between coaching and consulting to help you figure out which type of speaker you are so that you can start scaling your business from the stage.
