stretch

French translation: typo "stretch" (probablement)

Management
English term or phrase: stretch
Hello !

I am translating a management text and I came upon this expression which I have never seen before :

"Provide strech experiences and support to foster growth".

The translation I was thinking of is "Offrir des expériences et un support étendus afin de favoriser le développement".

Or is it a totally different concept ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

French translation:typo "stretch" (probablement)
Explanation:
verbe to stretch = (dans ce contexte) tirer le maximum de, pousser, obliger à donner le maximum de soi-même, (faire) travailler à la limite de ses possibilités - ou "pousser dans ses derniers retranchements"

Donc il s'agit de leur donner la possibilité de montrer ce qu'ils ont dans le ventre, tout en les encadrant afin de favoriser leur évolution

Offrir des occasions de réaliser un maximum de son potentiel, avec encadrement à l'appui
