At CoachingOurselves, our approach is grounded in the pioneering work of Henry Mintzberg and the proven power of small group learning. Through structured, peer-led sessions, managers transform everyday experiences into actionable insights—without the high costs or disruption of traditional classroom training.What is the 70:20:10 Framework?The 70:20:10 framework is a strategic model for organizational learning, adopted by leading companies worldwide. It recognizes that:70% of learning happens on the job—through real-life experiences, challenges, and problem-solving.20% comes from social learning—feedback, coaching, and sharing with peers.10% is gained via formal training—classroom sessions, workshops, and courses.This framework highlights a crucial insight: while formal training has its place, the majority of meaningful development occurs in the flow of work and through interactions with others. However, experience alone isn’t enough—reflection and discussion are essential for turning experience into learning.How CoachingOurselves Integrates 70:20:10When using coaching as a leadership development tool, CoachingOurselves bridges the gap between experience and reflection. Our leadership topic guidebooks are designed to bring the “20%” (social learning) directly into the “70%” (on-the-job experiences), with just enough of the 10%. Managers meet for focused, 90-minute sessions, guided by a moderator, to reflect on real challenges, share perspectives, and commit to action.Each session follows a proven structure:Participants read and discuss module content together.Reflection is anchored in actual workplace experiences.Group dialogue fosters trust, candor, and practical solutions.Action steps are defined and tracked for accountability.This approach ensures that learning is not just theoretical—it’s immediately relevant and applied. Over time, managers build new habits, strengthen leadership skills, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
