In the Super Excel Coaching Community and Zoom live Excel group coaching session, you will be coached to solve the problem. This means:

• If solving the problem requiring only the skills you learned in the courses you have taken, you will be guided how to combine them to solve the problem.
• If solving the problem requiring skills and knowledges you did not learn, you will be guided what topics and skills you need to learn to solve that problem. 
• No teaching of new topics. Here, what you get is coaching.
• In the Coaching Community, other members may answer your questions though, which is more of a form of peer discussion.
