Most training programs fade after the classroom lights dim—not because the content wasn’t strong, but because reinforcement never occurred. This session will teach participants how to extend the learning curve through structured, personalized coaching. Using real-world examples and research on behavior retention, we’ll explore how coaching transforms information into daily application and results.

Attendees will discover how Progress Coaching’s reinforcement model connects learning to performance through dialogue, practice, and accountability. By combining questions, reflection, and activities, coaching becomes the vehicle for long-term behavioral change, not just short-term recall.
