A Business Coach operates to help you get the best out of yourself. They work on your mindset to help overcome your limiting factors and they help you get clarity about the way forward. They’ll ask questions to help you understand the right direction for you, hold you accountable for your actions and thus enable you to realise your potential.
A Strategist on the other hand provides strategic input by way of suggestions around the full gambit of business operations. This could include rebranding, marketing ideas, networking, admin processes, how to better utilise technology, productive alliances and good old customer service.
