Many learning specialists and leaders have very limited time to plan and organize regular and scheduled formal coaching sessions. Instead coaching is done in micro events - as needed, as it happens, in conversations and usually in combination with Web tools and mobile devices. In these situations, micro-coaching becomes the only link between learners and workers and their leaders or trainers. The success of micro-coaching, therefore, leads to better performance.
