It emphasises the value in coaching as a complement or replacement for initiatives that might focus purely on observed behaviour, on delivering informaiton or on training people in particular skills. Without facilitation of the links back to personal meaning, values and prioritiies you do not get the depth of engagement, commmitment, understanding or thirst for action and learning that is required to make these sorts of transformations.
