Driving on a straight road does not improve your driving skills. To improve your skills, you need to experience curves, bends, and dirt roads. If you break down you may be able to get yourself started again, or you might need assistance to get you back on track. 

Coaching is a bit like that. As a leader you will have situations that are enormously challenging, you may feel like you are stuck in a loop, you may not be sure which direction to take next. Working with a coach helps you work out what you can do and what your next steps could look like.
