Our Lifeplace Training and Coaching Approach
Our Lifeplace approach to training begins by clarifying that training is not the same as or a substitute for coaching. Moreover, accountability is essential for shaping a lifeplace culture. Consequently, defining the difference between training and coaching is critical since coaching is how the long-term integration of training occurs.
To borrow an example from the field of athletics, "Training is what occurs to prepare athletes and coaches for a coming season; it is not what takes place once the season begins; coaching does… "
(Dr. Robert Watts).
Our Lifeplace coaching approach emphasizes that coaching should not be relegated to what happens in the "other world" after gaps in performance or behavior go from "soft to hard." As such, coaching should not be procured as a last resource intervention — triage coaching is the result, and it seldom, if ever, generates the impact required. Consequently, resources are wasted, human capital is lost, and a stigma is attached to the coaching experience by clients.
For the Lifeplace coach, coaching is where the action is!
Hence, coaching is introduced as a proactive and planned part of the training design. Given the fast pace of business today, this strategy is critical for successful integration.
Moreover, for coaching to be successful, the learner must enjoy the experience—this is the Lifeplace way. To this end, training models seamlessly embed multiple learning styles. This allows learners to move smoothly to supervised action while the knowledge is organized and fresh.
