How Coaching Actually Works: Why Success Makes the Help Invisible

Ever wonder why coaches get so much hate online, even though the research shows they actually work? Marcus Chen breaks down a fascinating psychological quirk that makes successful coaching invisible over time - and it's not what you think. On Built Different, we explore why coaching gets such a bad rap despite meta-analysis research across 40,000+ studies showing it leads to 4x greater success rates. You'll learn about the weird time-based perception shifts that happen to both coaches and clients, discover why information loses value so quickly after you consume it, and understand the optimal timing for asking for testimonials (hint: it's not when you think).
