People who are new to coaching often wonder what to expect. Almost everyone has participated in some type of professional training and many think coaching will be similar; however, the 2 are quite different. In this episode, we explore the fundamental differences between coaching and training. We discuss the dynamics of each environment, emphasizing the interactive nature of coaching compared to the more structured approach of training. The conversation highlights the importance of active listening, the role of the coach, and the effectiveness of coaching over time, particularly in group settings. We encourage listeners to bring their experiences into the coaching process to foster a more personalized and impactful development journey.
