TRAINING
I sincerely believe that training make information not only come alive but also connect on a personal level with the trainee or it’s just more words that do not mean much. Like the teacher in the Peanuts cartoon. Just like for children, it needs to be hands-on and practiced to make it felt.

Much like training, coaching a person is a very individualized situation.
