FAQs About Coaching
What is coaching, and how does it work?
Coaching is a collaborative process where a coach helps you clarify your goals, overcome obstacles, and develop strategies to achieve success. Through one-on-one sessions, a coach provides guidance, accountability, and support to help you reach your full potential.
How is coaching different from therapy or consulting?
Coaching focuses on future growth and achieving specific goals, while therapy addresses past issues and emotional healing. Consulting involves providing expert advice and solutions, whereas coaching empowers you to find your own answers and develop skills.
Who can benefit from coaching?
Anyone looking to improve their personal or professional life can benefit from coaching. This includes entrepreneurs, leaders, teams, or individuals seeking clarity, confidence, and actionable strategies to achieve their goals.
How long does a coaching program last?
The duration varies depending on your needs. Some coaching engagements last a few weeks, while others may extend over several months. Typically, a program includes weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
What should I expect during a coaching session?
During a session, you’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and progress. The coach will ask thought-provoking questions, provide feedback, and guide you in creating actionable steps to move forward.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes, coaching sessions are confidential. Your coach will not share any personal information unless required by law or with your explicit consent.
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
Coaching is ideal if you’re ready to take action, open to feedback, and committed to personal growth. A discovery or introductory session can help you determine if coaching aligns with your needs.
FAQs About Consulting
What is consulting, and how does it differ from coaching?
Consulting involves providing expert advice, strategies, and solutions to address specific challenges or opportunities in your business or organization.

What industries or areas do you specialize in?
I specialize in remediating quality and manufacturing systems or creating interim controls within the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

The process typically begins with an initial consultation to understand your needs and challenges. From there, we develop a tailored plan, implement strategies, and provide ongoing support to ensure success.
How long does a consulting engagement last?
The duration depends on the scope of the project. Some engagements are short-term (a few weeks), while others require ongoing support over several months.
What types of businesses or clients do you work with?
I work with pharmaceutical companies that have been identified by the FDA to have significant compliance issues and would benefit from obtaining the support and expertise of a 3rd Party Quality Systems Consultant.
How much does consulting cost?
The cost varies based on the scope of the project, duration, and level of support required. As an average the cost per consultant could be in the region of $175/hour. As mentioned this does vary based on the scope of the project, and level of support needed. Contact Brian for a customized quote based on your specific needs.
