Because besides the fact that the coach applying for the Master level, professionally versed in raising them, has her practical experience, so he is the speaker, and equally important, he is a specialist, able to start the transfer process and goal setting skills.
At this stage of training, the specialists of the companies face major uncertainty — how to evaluate:
