How does the process of coaching work when we can meet face to face?
Coaching that is accomplished by fax, email, phone, regular mail, audiotape, videotape and other means is termed virtual coaching. This can be very effective, and in many cases, almost preferable to in-person coaching. Of course, the non-verbal elements are not present over the phone or email, but when I coach folks and need to view their performances, electronic tools help me repeat, slow down and capture them very nicely. I coach some people whom I have never met, and whom I probably never will meet, just because we are separated by thousands of miles of distance. If this is your situation, virtual coaching is perfect.
