Deciding between coaching and therapy as a career? It's like choosing between a superhero cape and a wizard's robe. Both are awesome, but they fit different kinds of heroes. Here's why you might grab that cape and how to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons—not just because the wizard's robe looks like a lot of work.

1. Fast-Track Changes vs. Archaeological Digs

Coaching is about sparking immediate change and setting the world on fire (in a good way). It's forward focused, forward thinking, and often intense. Therapists will take you on a dig through your past, but coaches? We get dialed into your future and your identity to help you be who you want to be and get where you want to go.

2. Your Rules, Your Game

If the idea of being boxed in makes you claustrophobic, coaching is your breath of fresh air. You call the shots, pick your playing field, and yes, working in your PJs is totally an option. Therapists have their charm, but the freedom to run your show is the coach's superpower.

3. Side-by-Side Journey

Coaching is a partnership where you're both in the driver's seat, navigating the road to success with a map you drew together. It's hands-on, it's personal, and it's a shared adventure. Therapy keeps its professional distance, but coaching is all about getting up close and personal (professionally, of course).

4. Wide Open Spaces

Want to help a wide array of folks achieve their wildest dreams? Coaching gives you the telescope to see far and wide, offering help to anyone from CEOs looking to conquer the world to artists finding their muse. Therapy has its specialties, but coaching lets you explore an entire galaxy of possibilities.

5. Be the Boss

For those with a heart of an entrepreneur, coaching is your kingdom to build. It's where passion meets business, and your dreams get down to work. Starting from scratch might sound daunting, but for the brave, it's the ultimate quest.

And for the Love of Coaching...

Jumping into coaching because you think it's the shortcut that will require less time and money than pursuing therapy? Think again.

Coaching is not therapy light. It demands guts, heart, and a relentless drive to learn and grow—not to mention the smarts to run your own business. It's not the easy path; it's a different path with its own mountains to climb.
