Yes, there is a huge difference between a trainer and a coach. This difference is worth understanding and recognizing for a number of essential reasons.
- What does a trainer do for you?
- What does a coach do for you?
A good trainer is a subject matter expert who is competent teaching, i.e., transferring (imparting) a particular technique, expertise or knowledge to an able and willing student.
An outstanding coach is a transformation expert - a partner - who is fully committed to the student's mission and results, who is able to stretch, strategize, challenge, inspire, train, persuade, that is, transform that student into being his or her most capable self, such that the student fulfills the mission, achieves the results, or reaches the goal.
No matter how good the trainer is or how outstanding the coach is, it is the student that must attain, achieve, reach, or be transformed. NO ONE becomes great alone. |
