One-on-one coaching: what it is and what it means

One-on-one coaching is a personalized path, usually one-on-one, on the specific traits of a person. It is not structured around a scope of skills defined upfront, nor shared with other managers: the focus is on the single person, their context and their specific dynamics. The two tools — coaching and management training — complement each other, but they answer different questions.
