I've been an innovation coach for over 15 years and have conducted countless workshops. The most common comment I receive from business leaders is how they wish their teams were better at problem-solving. Workshops do a great job of imparting knowledge but participants quickly lose momentum and motivation in the following days. Especially for something like problem-solving where it's difficult to translate class room learning to an uncertain real world. Coaching on the other hand reinforces learning through timely interventions and real-world application. It guides people through the resistance, encourages them to rethink their BAU and hand-holds them in applying what they've learned until they're confident to do it themselves.
