CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

Hiro is acting as a coach by developing the team member's skills and confidence. Coaching involves mentoring, encouraging, and helping team members grow professionally.

**Why not A:** An initiator starts or proposes new ideas, projects, or initiatives. While the team member proposed the innovative solution, Hiro's role is to develop the team member's confidence and skills to present it — that is coaching, not initiating.

**Why not B:** A facilitator guides group discussions and helps teams reach decisions. Hiro is working one-on-one with a team member to build their confidence and prepare for a presentation, which is mentoring and development — coaching activities, not group facilitation.

**Why not D:** A negotiator works to reach agreements between parties with competing interests. Hiro is not negotiating resources or resolving competing demands — he is developing the team member's capability and confidence, which is a coaching responsibility.
