How can you coach effectively in the digital age?

Keep it simple, less is more. You don't need 20 tools to be a coach. You need presence and a way to communicate. When 'online' wasn't booming yet, I used to coach people over the phone. Simple, straight to the point, no notes-taking. Being present, no distractions... just the client and I. You don't really want to divide your attention between the client and tools. So IMO: choose 2-3 really important tools, and let all the rest be!

Digital age and coaching fully met during pandemic. To me the important thing is to keep everything simple. I do prefer to coach a client in a physical environment. However digital world help me to keep in touch with customers wherever they are. I prefer to place the camera further in order to offer a little perspective. I also like the customer do the same since body language is very important. Built-in laptops cameras give you a very narrow perspective and you can only see the face. I also put a lot attention to my microphone and I use a good one. Many customer use cellphones mics and sound is not very good. To proper communication I use a good camera and a good mic. And it’s important also to humanize the most when you coach online.

Virtuell und pers?nlich immer auf Augenh?he. Und ma?voll den Coachee aus der reserve locken und triggern. Konfrontieren und aus der Komfortzone holen. Bodenlos ehrlich sein.

In direct extension of tools selection you make sure to focus on key topics rather than everything. Online coaching need to be specific, engaging (perhaps even faster than face to face) and the recap of discussions perhaps more frequently repeated by either party. Focus + Awareness + Actions = supportive of coachees objectives and preferences !

Time is money for both you and your clients. Traveling to meet in person was not an effective methodology even prior to the Pandemic but especially since. Noone has the bandwidth and/or expense account to travel needlessly. The world is a smaller place due to technology. If you need to share a document or presentation then utilize online resources. Depending on where in the world you are communicating to and from you may just need a phone. At no time in history has technology been such a game changer in being competitive in the coaching/consulting field. Whatever your budget and the technology available to your clients, make sure that you can effectively relay your advice in a coherent manner and develop lasting, trusting relationships.

My approach to this is to let go of trying to sell - whether that's a coaching programme to a prospect, or an idea to an existing client. By just being honest, empathetic and real with a coachee you earn not just their trust but trust in yourself. Self-trust comes first, so let down your guard and stop trying to have "the answers".

Trust is the basic factor to bring out results in coaching sessions, regardless of the medium. And trust cannot be built in a day. It can be built by establishing a rapport. If the coach and coachee are not known to each other, the process takes time. Patience and a will power to make it happen is needed at both sides. Engagement skills of coach come into play in this phase. The best way to bring out others’ stories is to tell your own. When you tell your own story, you convey that its ok to share. You encourage others to share their own stories, without directly telling them to do so.

Pour ma part je peux ajouter qu'il est aussi important de communiquer les vrais informations, être sincère et franc , ma?triser les sujets que vous ma?triser sans tatonnements

Established rapport and trust have nothing to do with whether you are coaching online or in person. This is essential for any coaching process. It is essential to ensure that your coachee is comfortable with the online space you create and offer as a coach and also acknowledge if it is not the right solution for your coachee and, in that case, help them discover what would suit them better.

Digital coaching requires the coach to have good technical equipment. You should therefore invest in a good camera and a good microphone. It could also be helpful to use a second camera that captures the flipchart in the background, for example, or offers a zoom function. This could help to achieve a greater connection with the client.

Inswischen ist es v?llig egal ob man übe Zoom, Teams am Telefon oder live coacht. Ich stimme zu, das Live nochmal ein anderes Gefühl gibt, wenn man sich live gegenüber sitzt. Von der Effizienz des Coachings merke ich keinen Unterschied das funktioniert auf allen Kan?len. Wichtig ist immer ein gute Verbindung, die entsprechende Stimm und Wortwahl ist bei allen Formaten notwendig.

Portez votre voix à l'entente du public sans violence verbale Faire usage des mots qui sont à la portée de toutes et tous Soigner sa voix

Klare und pr?gnante Kommunikation ist absolut wichtig. Immer wieder Feedback einholen und geben, dabei ist die Pers?nlichkeit des Coachee zu berücksichtigen.

Clear communication is important for coaching engagements. We must learn to be clear and concise in written and spoken communication. As coaches, video calls allows us to watch for non-verbal cues. We must also be mindful of our own non-verbal cues. Digital tools allow us to receive continual feedback and have check-ins. That way we can adjust some of the coaching content to better address the client's needs.

Communicate clearly and empathetically to foster a deep understanding of the coachee's systemic relationships and dynamics. Digital communication should aid in initiating and supporting reflective processes.

The way I use to engage my coaches is to make my online coaching sessions outside, in my garden. As I live at countryside, and living on Valencia-Spain I enjoy a superb weather almost whole year. I realized that when you talk to them and they feel you’re in nature the easily connect with the porpoise of the session. When I coach online all related to role playing and regular activities you can manage on physical session are not very effective since the virtual space does not help to connect them with the activity. So yo me in this digital age to engage my coaches I do not use and virtual image at the background. I just stay close the nature and it makes the difference.

Coaching in the digital age allows for more and varried touchpoints than every before. I meet most of my coachees on Zoom and use tools like Voxer, WhatsApp, AI, digital courses, to stay connected between our sessions. These digital touchpoints creates more interaction with the coachee and supports them in between sessions in a powerful way. Meeting in person is powerful too but digital tools provide different ways of connecting more often than can be incredibly supportive in a person's transformation.

Yes, coaching needs to be relevant and meaningful, but it is not always "enjoyable". Coaching is about growing the person and that requires stretching caochees beyond their comfort zone. Coaching in the digital age is not about using lots of techniques, games, quizzes, etc as the article suggests to keep coachees engaged; we are not in kindergarten. When coaches show up fully present to listen deeply to their coachees and their challenges and aspirations, then the way forward in that session will emerge.

Vor dem Start jeder Coaching-Session führe ich immer ein ausführliches Gespr?ch mit dem Coachee über Wünsche und vor allem die Ziele, die mit dem Coaching erreicht werden sollen. Darauf baut dann die Struktur und Vorgehensweise auf.

Know the topic well and have some first-hand insights. Before entering the CXO coaching space in the Hospitality industry, I ran a 3BR cottage homestay in the mountains to learning the trade for more than a year. Have conversations with the industry experts, visionary leaders to get perspectives which can be replicated. Check DQ, the "digital savvy" status check of your coachee, else you run a risk of overstepping in their aerospace. Appreciate small achievements and keep tracking progress.

In the digital era, my coaching approach harnesses the power of customized quizzes and assessments to understand each client's unique relationship with change and their communication style. These tools offer immediate, insightful reflections, aiding clients in self-awareness and equipping me with essential data to tailor my coaching strategies. These assessments are efficient and highly revealing, allowing for dynamic and responsive coaching sessions. They enable me to engage clients effectively, meeting them where they are and guiding them toward their goals in a manner that resonates with their style. This process ensures a more accessible, relevant, and impactful coaching experience.

Almost all coaching tools may be also used online. Most of them are available as an online resource. And if not… with a little bit of inspiration and entrepreneurial mindset, you can design them yourself. Especially for coaching beyond your country borders, online coaching is a great possibility. ???? ???? ????????????????

Incorporate resources that deepen systemic understanding. Online courses and webinars on systemic coaching methods can help coachees better comprehend their role and influence within the system.

Vous devez avoir une longueur d avance dans votre domaine d'expertise, pour apporter du sang neuf à vos discussions, faire du prédictif, raisonner passé, présent, futur pour aiguiser l esprit d analyse et de synthèse nécessaire à une approche de coaching.

One thing I always tell my clients to pay attention to: "make sure that the coach you choose to work with, has his or her own coach" I equally strongly believe in the power of continuos learning and improvement of the art of coaching, as it is a profession that requires the human that practices it to constantly grow and evolve the skills.

In the dynamic realm of digital coaching, the journey isn't a conclusion; it's an evolution. Embrace continuous growth and transformation on your path forward. Reflect on your coaching journey, celebrating strengths and identifying areas for improvement—fuel for personal and professional growth. Join coaching communities,share insights, collaboration, and continuous inspiration among coaches. Embrace coaching supervision and mentoring, and enrich your practice through guidance and shared experiences. Staying attuned to the rhythm of change isn't just a choice; it's a necessity. Commit to continuous learning, adaptability, and collaboration, and witness your coaching practice flourish in the dynamic landscape of the digital coaching era.

Continuous learning as a coach is key. My advice is to find yourself a coach or a coaching supervisor, and choose virtual sessions over F2F meetups. This will help you change perspective and experience what it feels like to have virtual coaching conversations. Talking about feelings - be aware that in a digital setup, you might need extra awareness of the nonverbal aspects of the conversation. As such, practicing observations, using yourself as an instrument and container for what might be going on for your client emotionally is another important aspect to consider.

Il est impératif d’être supervisé 3 à 4 fois par an pour améliorer sa posture, son éthique, son équilibre personnel sans lequel il est deontologiquement interdit de pratiquer.

The digital age is ???????????????????????? at a pace that is practically ?????????????????????? It is going much beyond just having a website, social media presence and so on. While these are necessary, this is just a small part With the right set of digital tools, professions like Coaching can not just ride the digital wave but set the tone for changes and stay ahead of the competition I refer to techniques involving chat bots etc. A recent experiment I had conducted was highly encouraging. Digital tools can further catapult a niche and greatly increase reach and visibility of professions such as Coaching that involve dialogues with end users

I can share from experience. I have been coaching through my own trademarked NLP based approach digitally on Zoom Calls by using presentations and simple intense captivating conversations. No, I don't use any other tools. I have found these effective from the kind of work I am able to attract and accomplish in 03 years. A coach must talk from experience to make an impact and help client effect change , transformation.

Le coaching digital implique des modalités de présence à l’autre différentes. Poser le cadre avant le démarrage du coaching est encore plus essentiel que dans un accompagnement en présentiel. - En effet, en présentiel, le coach peut se porter garant de l’environnement dans lequel se déroule la séance en présentiel. - En distanciel, le client peut être face à 3 écrans, se trouver en open space, dans un lieu public, …, autant d’éléments qui vont nuire à la qualité de présence du client et potentiellement, entraver le principe de confidentialité. Il est essentiel pour le coach de veiller à la sécurité ontologique de son client. Cette règle est d’autant plus cruciale mais complexe à déployer en distanciel.

Fast alles was Face-to-Face m?glich ist, geht auch online. Mut, Flexibilit?t und Kreativit?t sind die Schlüssel dazu. Denn die meisten Grenzen entstehen im Kopf.

While new and rapidly changing technology can impact the means by which coaching is delivered and also has the potential to enable coaches to be more productive, I don’t believe technology in and of itself makes a coach more or less effective in the transformation they can provide their client with - this comes from the coach themselves, working closely with their client, gaining rapport, using the most appropriate coaching techniques, questions and modalities and gaining an intimate understanding of what the coachee’s personal challenges are. Currently the technology is only an enabler, not a decider of how effective coaching will be for an individual.
