There is self-reflection, there is peer learning where they are able to learn from each other, and therefore now a coach educator needs to understand their role in this process is to facilitate learning and guide the coach educators in the right direction to understand themselves, their participants, the environment, the attitude, the understanding, the abilities and all of that,” she said.
