I'm linking this mostly to note the reference to Kolb's experiential learning cycle (and to suggest once again that education qua discipline should stop naming things after people, and start naming things according to what they are; there is in fact a long history of research into each of these things, and naming them after certain individuals trivializes the work that came both before and after). Anyhow, the point of this article is to examine the role of coaching in experiential learning. As Timothy Gallwey says, "Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them."
