Jack Welch, the legendary Chairman and CEO of General Electric, said: “An individual’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.”
The last 3 decades have seen a gigantic shift in how we approach information. Digital flows of content dominate our lives now, and it is predicted that there will be a 10 fold increase in incoming information in just the next 2-3 years.
The Internet has democratized knowledge, and, in its wake, left an equally giant need for curation, editing, and making sense of flows of the seemingly endless information.
What is missing in this vast web of information and sometimes useful elements is people.
People teaching. People creating relationships. Leadership development, teaching, and education are about people.
The fall off in usage–ultimately fall off in stickiness–with models such as Udemy is massive. Several studies suggest that 90%+ of people who start a canned online course never finish it, most not even completing a third. In addition to the energy of employees and individuals, that's a lot of learning and information flow going to waste.
With this rise in online learning, it’s imperative to ask…
- How effective are the existing models of online learning?
- How actionable are these learnings?
People leave canned online learning modules after one-way communication..
Relationships are built and transformation happens with effective leadership development, LIVE 1:1 and group coaching.
How can we reframe situations and ourselves to achieve higher ends? What is derailing you in your career that we can reset to help you become the fully realized leader you can be?
A coach's ability to intuit what is happening for someone, and to guide them with better ways of thinking, being, and acting is a key to learning and progress.
Organizations enroll executives in leadership development online courses, but often find it hard to justify the expense over time. Coaching needs to be personalized, contextualized, timely, and ongoing to create the kinds of outputs necessary to succeed and create valuable results and change for the organization.
It’s time to make sense of the content. It’s time to put context to that content. It’s time to really learn.
On-Demand, LIVE, Interactive Coaching is the Answer!
- It’s engaging.
Live and interactive coaching gives learners time with their coach to develop a relationship and to build rapport. It brings the intimacy of a live classroom with the power of personal focus and context-driven problem solving.
- It provides much-needed context.
The regular access to expert on-demand learning builds context, engages learners regularly, and improves performance. In an interactive online engagement, learners are no longer passive participants. Instead, they build, learn, and consume content in context. The more engagement, the better the context is.
- It’s personalized.
With customized online coaching support, the lessons can be timed as per the learner’s context, convenience, and capability. The learner plays a role in deciding the what, how and when, helping create a learning experience that is tailored for them and the needs of their organization
- It’s cost effective.
Learning new skills online substantially reduces the costs involved in coaching and training support. Unlike classroom-based courses, online learning avoids interview time, travel expenses, onsite inefficiencies.. Expenses that include finances, plus an individual and an organization’s time.
- It’s virtual and remote.
As people increasingly work, learn, and network remotely, online coaching offers flexibility in learning while keeping up with other priorities. In addition to providing the best leadership development experience, well-structured online programs maximize flexibility and efficiency for coaches and learners. There are three times more meetings in the morning with a virtual schedule than with an onsite engagement.
It is time for leaders to embrace online coaching, in a live, interactive and on-demand setting, as an effective means of learning for themselves and their employees. This new avenue for learning is in hot demand, and it behooves leaders to take advantage of it.
