Starting Bundle's training program is an exciting opportunity for professional growth. To make the most of this experience, it's important to understand the difference between training and coaching.
What is Training?
Training is a structured process designed to help you learn specific skills or knowledge to improve your job performance. At Bundle, our training sessions are:
- Focused: Each session targets specific skills.
- Structured: There is a clear plan and set goals.
- Highly Personalized: Lessons are custom curated and uniquely facilitated for each learner based on their current level, work experiences, goals, and needs.
- Interactive: Activities like role-plays, scenarios, simulations, and strategy planning make learning engaging and relevant to the workplace.
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a more general process that helps you grow over time, focusing on career or personal development. It can cover various areas, not just specific skills. Coaches ask questions and guide you to find your own answers. Coaching is:
- Personalized: Tailored to your individual needs and goals.
- Ongoing: Usually involves multiple sessions over a longer period.
- Reflective: Focuses on your personal development and self-awareness.
- Intangible: Improvement can be observed through a coach's feedback but is not always directly measurable.
Why We Focus on Training?
At Bundle, our programs are training-focused because structured training has proven benefits, particularly for developing soft skills. Here’s why training is often more effective for this purpose:
- Efficiency: You gain the skills you need in a short amount of time.
- Effectiveness: Structured lessons ensure all key areas are covered.
- Relevance: Training is directly related to your job tasks.
- Customization: Each session is uniquely designed to fit your individual work experiences, goals, and skill level.
- Real-World Practice: Activities are designed to reflect real workplace situations, making the training highly relevant and practical.
Research supports the effectiveness of structured training in enhancing soft skills. According to McKinsey, organizations that invest in soft skills training see substantial benefits, including improved communication, teamwork, and adaptability (McKinsey, 2019). The Center for Creative Leadership also emphasizes that targeted soft skills development is crucial for effective leadership at all levels (Center for Creative Leadership, 2020).
