Coaching Enhances Learning
Over many years of training and coaching, a few key truths have emerged for us. These are my favourites.
Key Truth One:
People only learn what they believe they need to learn.
Key Truth Two:
People only learn and apply what they discover for themselves.
Real learning can only come from self discovery. By "real learning" I mean something that has hit me with a blinding flash of light. A revelation! Something I can see solves one of my problems. Experiential and accelerated learning processes are very powerful in training workshops, to overcome this, (if done well) but if you go one step further and combine a coach-centric approach to workshop structure, you will engage the participants at a subconscious level.
Have you ever sat through a two or three day course and suddenly awoken to realise that you didnít hear a word that had been said for the past ten minutes (or more). When the training is conducted by someone standing in front of a projector, this is a common experience.
The coach-centric approach solves this problem. The nature of the approach means your coach is focussed on what is going on with people at all times, not on their material being presented. The coach will be "tuned in" and spot any brains that are going off into deep thought and utilise that thinking for the benefit of the individual and the group.
