Virtual Coaching
Our use of virtual coaching is growing year on year, yet it is often considered ‘second best’ to face-to-face working. However, research suggests that virtual coaching can be a powerful, highly flexible and creative intervention – one which offers coach and client more than a distance coaching tool. Studies also indicate that a different skill set is required to optimise its effectiveness and sense of ease for all participants.
