What is Financial Coaching exactly? Financial coaching means providing regular one-on-one sessions with clients in order to ‘coach’ performance improvements to meet goals mutually set by the coach and client. Coaching is differentiated from counseling in that coaches are not “experts,” but instead they provide encouragement and monitoring over advice, and do so in a process largely driven by the client. Coaching is not designed to be a therapeutic relationship or to manage a crisis. Coaching is well suited to asset building programs because clients often need encouragement and support to adhere to positive financial behaviors. A coach can provide a much-needed boost to self-control along with the flexibility to change strategies as the client’s financial situation changes. Coaching is different from counseling or mentoring and focuses more on ongoing behavior change, executive attention and goal setting and goal monitoring. Read more on financial coaching here.
