Here at People Biz Inc. we’ve discovered there is often great confusion about the differences between
training and coaching. Granted, they’re both ways for an expert or experienced individual to facilitate
understanding but that’s where the similarities end.
So what is training?
Training is all about learning a new skill. The trainer acts as a teacher and can train you on either hard
skills, such as accounting or soft skills, such as communication. People Biz offers all forms of training
including webinars, seminars, and teleclasses.
What about coaching?
Coaching is an ongoing conversation designed to take you from where you are not to where you want to
be. In coaching, the client is the expert and the coach is there to support, provoke, inspire and focus the
dialogue. Coaching is all about removing your personal barriers thereby empowering you to reach your
goals and create your vision.
While each learning vehicle is valuable on its own, studies show that adding coaching to training
increases learning by 30% and day-to-day performance by 88%. And with over 80% of businesses failing
their first year, it’s necessary for these tools to work together.
The Business Accelerator Program combines both training and coaching for you to achieve measurable
transformation for yourself and your business by removing emotional barriers and providing the
relevant business training to get you into action on your goals and working on your business plan. Find
out how the program can make a difference in your life. [CALL TO ACTION]
