You want the map to return an array with content of [name, count]

So you need to get name and count from inside the map.

`initiative` variable already contains the name so the first part of
array is simple, it's just `initiative.name` (`[initiative.name, ...]`).

And as for the count, it's inside `training_count`. The query you have
should return a hash with structure `{:id => :count}`. To access count
of each id, it's just `training_count[<insert_id>]`. In same spirit with
previous part, `training_count[initiative.id]` should do the trick.

Combined, all you need is one line of `[initiative.name,
training_count[initiative.id]]`.
