A brief overview of how teaching fits into coaching. We’re going to examine a few lessons from The Adult Learner* by Malcolm Knowles.

Pedagogy vs. Andragogy (art of teaching kids vs. self concept of being responsible for ourselves) (Greek: child-leading, man-leading). You can’t teach adults the way you teach kids.

Why talk about kids? As coaches, there’s the tendency to fall back on what we’ve seen all our lives and what we remember from school – unfortunately, those same skills don’t work with adults.

Book recommendation: Drive* by Daniel Pink
