The PEOPLE made the experience!<\/p>\n
\u201cTeaching\/Coaching is about the Human Element<\/b>\u201d (Vern Gambetta)<\/p>\n
The willingness of people to share their knowledge, their experiences with everyone, with their roommate, with a fellow GAINer no matter their role (coach, teacher, trainer, doctor); their experience (1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 40 years); their level (Prep School, High School, College, University, Professional, Elite), the occasion (during presentations, practicals, \u2019Q&A\u2019, informal chats); anytime (during breakfast, lunch or dinner).<\/p>\n
Sharing and discussing information and experiences with fellow practitioners helps you develop, improve, get better at what you do by helping you to think, to question, to reflect on your current practices either reinforcing that you are on right path or that you may need to take a little detour to get you back on that path…<\/p>\n
