Consulting is a valuable complement to the coaching relationship. Consulting also has a distinctively different role than Coaching. Although one role can complement the other, a coaching relationship is primarily motivational and client-directed.

Whereas a consulting relationship is more informational and consultant-directed for completing projects and offering solutions to the needs and goals of the client. Clients choose which relationship works best for them with the possibility for choosing a combined coaching/consulting relationship. To know more about a coaching relationship, just click Services link for details.

Sharon’s consulting services are both on-site and accomplished through the convenience of the telephone, email, and fax. A consulting agreement is tailored to the needs and preferences of the client within the consultant’s areas of expertise. Sharon’s consulting services are available within all three triads, Lifeskills, Wellness, and Creative Arts Development.

What is Lifeskills Consulting?
Clients will move through any or all of the following Twelve Basic and Powerful Lifeskills:

Relationships/Core Values	Wellness
Time Management	Meals
Career/Money Management	Childcare
Recordkeeping	Recreation/Entertainment
Possessions	Reflection
Housekeeping	Celebration

Bonus Lifeskill: Leadership toward Legacy

Clients choose which areas will be the most important focus for the consulting agreement. However, clients tend to find these twelve areas often impact each other and influence potential outcomes in all areas. As consultant, Sharon will offer her perspective, expertise, and resources for achieving the highest level of life satisfaction in these twelve lifeskill areas.

What is Wellness Consulting?
Health-conscious consumers and patients will find Wellness Consulting a powerful tool for accessing various wellness/healthcare resources and connections toward building their own wellness team and life/wellness plan. This consulting service can be particularly valuable for conventional, CAM, and integrative practitioners who would like to tap into our nation’s evolving and transformation resources. Various assessment and wellness satisfaction tools are utilized such as the Personality Style System and Wellness Inventory.

What is Creative Arts Consulting?
For those who desire to either start a serious hobby, a business, or establish a recreation program in their organization or academic institution, Sharon’s diverse art/crafts experience and resources would be available throughout the consulting relationship. Sharon's years in the arts field has given her unique skillsets as a arts selection consultant. She is available to help you seek and select just the right artworks for your home, business, or organization, both interior and exterior locations. Sharon's contacts with the arts and artists, both regionally and nationally, will be a valuable asset throughout your selection process.

Initially, an assessment of the objectives, goals, problems, proposed plan, potential outcomes are done. Then a midterm progress report, final report, and one 3 or 6 month follow up call session is provided. Throughout the terms of agreement, Sharon will offer relevant expertise, strategies, structures, and methodologies toward recommending a workable plan/solution.

The consulting agreement will be based on a mutually agreed fee schedule and for a specific time period depending upon the needs of the clients and optimum time period for accomplishing the agreed objectives. Any requests for additional work or changes to the terms of the original agreement will be considered and implemented in writing. The client may also determine whether further consulting is needed for a specified period of time warranting a redesigned agreement, an automatic renewal, or an appropriate referral.

With a “consulting” relationship, clients are encouraged to have a clear understanding of their reasons and expectations for hiring a consultant, and that they are willing to participate in proactive dialogue and appropriate brainstorming to insure the most positive outcomes. Clients should also clearly state who they represent, whether themselves personally, a private, or public entity. Clients will also need to provide any relevant information and materials for the mutual benefit toward completion of the consulting agreement.

The consulting relationship is a comprehensive process and is designed to help the client focus on targeted problems, determine goals and forward action, and to be fully engaged in the process within the agreed parameters. This relationship may involve the consultant providing expertise, advice and recommendations on the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals as well as a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

Although a consulting relationship may involve areas of the client’s whole life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation, consulting does not treat mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. Consulting is not a substitute for coaching, mentoring, counseling, psychotherapy, mental healthcare, or substance abuse treatment; and the client agrees to not use it in place of any form of therapy, mentoring, or coaching. Professional referrals will be given when appropriate. Consulting is not to be used in lieu of any professional advice outside the consultant’s area of expertise. The client will seek professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other matters not within the consultant’s area of expertise. Any decisions made by the client in these areas are exclusively the client’s responsibility.

All information provided to the consultant will be held as confidential unless the client states otherwise, in writing, except as required by law, for a period of one year. However, the client acknowledges and concedes that certain topics may be anonymously shared with other consulting professionals for training OR consultation purposes, preserving confidentiality. The consultant agrees to not publish, disclose or otherwise disseminate such information for one year (or mutually agreed upon timeframe) without prior written notification to the client.
