Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or future. 

This may be a dumb question, but what exactly is the difference between a workshop and a seminar? Do you see them as synonymous and interchangeable terms? If not, what exactly differentiates a workshop from a seminar?

— Ian Cook

Seminars tend to be more one-way from the presenter without opportunities for practice or application nor do they actively engage participants in the process.
