Training ≠ Coaching. Training builds foundational knowledge and skills. Coaching helps you apply them in your unique context.Skill building takes structured practice. Reading a book isn’t enough—people need reps, feedback, and guided experiences.Coaching is most valuable when teams already have baseline skills and face org-specific blockers.You don’t need to be a certified coach to be effective.
