Key Takeaways:
- 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. Experience in the craft and knowing how to support others in real-world contexts is often more important.
- Leaders need targeted learning, too. But leadership-specific product training is still hard to find.
