Clarity of Scope ✦

Consulting vs. Development vs
. Coaching

“While they may sound similar, business consulting, business development, and business coaching are very different fields with distinct strategic outcomes.”

NICHE EXPERTISE

PROJECT-BASED SPECIALTY

Business Consulting

Put simply, business consulting involves assisting a business with their niche. As a consultant, Renée specialises in particular areas (HR, marketing, management, accounting, legal) and provides outside expert authority when recruited by companies to solve specific project challenges.

REVENUE GROWTH

INTERNAL EXECUTION

Business Development

By contrast, business development helps to grow a business from the ground up. It is a function primarily performed by employees directly for the employer, focusing on prospecting, partnerships, and bringing in new sources of recurring revenue and customers.

1-ON-1 GUIDANCE

EXECUTIVE CAPACITY

Business Coaching

Business coaching is another valuable tool, with a focus on one-on-one guidance to create the overall conditions for success, rather than solve a niche business problem. It equips the leader with the clarity and mindset to drive the enterprise forward.

✦ What do business consultants charge?
Some business consultants charge flat fees for specific consulting services, and others charge an hourly rate. Standard business consulting sessions with Renée are $260 AUD each, with custom project retainers and coaching packages available upon request.
Business strategy consulting involves assisting business leaders to develop their business strategy. We walk you through determining who you are as a leader, where you want to go, scenario planning, competitive analysis, and where to allocate time, money, and resources to achieve sustained growth.
The length of time depends on the needs of the business and your strategic objectives. Typically, consultants spend anywhere between a few weeks and a few months giving advice and putting plans into action. In many cases, business consulting can be paired with life coaching to solve both personal and professional problems in sync.
The industry is incredibly diverse to suit any business, large or small. The main types include Strategy consulting, Management consulting, Operations consulting, Financial advisory consulting, HR consulting, and IT consulting—all of which Renée addresses through a holistic consulting model.
