1 Embrace Technology

In the shift to remote work, embracing technology is non-negotiable. Familiarize yourself with various video conferencing tools and choose one that is reliable and easy to use for both you and your clients. Ensure you have a stable internet connection to avoid disruptions during sessions. Additionally, explore online platforms for scheduling and payment that can streamline your administrative tasks. By integrating these technologies into your practice, you can create a seamless experience that focuses on coaching rather than technical difficulties.

When transitioning to online support of your clients, get recommendations from other coaches for technology that makes it easier for you and your clients. For example: Zoom and Google Meet are good 1 to 1 virtual coaching sessions. You can do video recordings of teachings with Loom. You can use Kajabi or Coach Accountable to post messages, training videos, worksheets, and PDFs. Start a Facebook group or Slack channel to share information and build community. Use email, text messaging, chat features, DMs on social media to stay in touch with your clients, too. Get feedback from your clients about their experience to allow you to make changes to better serve and stay connected with your clients. Tailor your tech as needed.

2 Online Presence

Strengthening your online presence is essential when transitioning to remote life coaching. Update your website to reflect your new virtual services and consider writing blog posts or articles that address common concerns about remote coaching. Social media can also be a powerful tool to engage with your audience and attract new clients. Share insights, tips, and testimonials that showcase the effectiveness of remote coaching, helping to build trust and credibility in your digital practice.

Zoom and Google Meet has allowed for my clients to meet with me when and where it's convenient their schedule. Phone and text follow ups are helpful as well. My coaching is 100 % remote now. Other ways to stay connected to your clients is an email newsletter sent to your clients with advice, wisdom, or to check in with them. Be a guest on or start your own podcast. You can record extra trainings or start a YouTube channel catered to your clients' needs. Creating a blog on your website for your clients to stay connected to you and learn on their schedule. A private Facebook group is another option to sharing trainings, collaborate on projects, and build a community of like-minded people while finding additional support.

3 Communication Skills

Effective communication is the cornerstone of life coaching, and in a remote setting, it becomes even more critical. You need to be adept at conveying empathy and understanding through a screen. Practice active listening and be mindful of non-verbal cues, which can be harder to interpret online. Clear articulation and asking insightful questions will help maintain the depth of your coaching sessions and ensure that your clients feel heard and supported, even from a distance.

Facial expressions, speech rate & tone, word choice, and holding space show empathy. Be mindful of what is and isn't said. Rephrasing what was said to check understanding and feelings. Ask open ended & clarifying questions if needed. Support & trust your client by not offer solutions but ask questions that open up thinking of your clients to many options. Give them time to find solutions and answers within themselves. Help them tie possible solutions back to goals, values, and priorities they have established. Have the client chose what they want to work on between sessions & criteria for how they know they made progress. Follow up in the next session on their progress and see if they need more support in this area before moving on.

4 Remote Environment

Creating a professional remote environment is vital for maintaining the integrity of your coaching sessions. Choose a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted. Good lighting and a clean, organized background can make a significant difference in how professional your sessions appear to clients. Additionally, consider the ergonomics of your workspace to ensure that you can work comfortably for extended periods, which will help you stay focused and energized during sessions.

5 Client Adaptation

Your clients may also need support as they adapt to remote coaching. Provide clear instructions on how to use the necessary technology and offer a test session to address any concerns they might have. Be patient and flexible as they adjust to this new format. By guiding them through this transition with empathy and understanding, you can help them feel more comfortable and confident in continuing their life coaching journey remotely.

Ask your client what kinds of tech they have and use most. This can be cell phone, Zoom, Video calling, or Google Meet. Texting is helpful for support between sessions. If your coaching requires access to a software like Kajabi, Teachable, Udemy, or other platform, schedule time to do a step-by-step tutorial with them so that they are comfortable and familiar with it. You can also send a PDF quick reference guide or list of simple YouTube tutorials that solve common problems to help your client jump the learning curve more quickly. Set aside office hours for "tech help" making you available to help with questions, problems, or concerns your clients have the tech related to coaching. Focus on what works best for your clients.

6 Maintain Connection

Maintaining a strong connection with your clients is crucial when working remotely. Regular check-ins via email or messaging can complement your video sessions and provide additional support. Consider offering shorter, more frequent sessions if that suits your clients' needs better in a remote context. Always aim to personalize your approach and remind your clients that despite the physical distance, you are fully committed to their personal growth and development.
