three tips to transition to online coaching

4/7/2020

Over the last 10 years, the majority of my coaching has been online. ⁣
⁣
There's been tons of trial and error, so I'm hoping these three tips ease anyone trying to make the transition to online coaching:⁣
⁣
1. Ask good questions and ask them in advance: ⁣
⁣
You can't ask a client to update you and be surprised when they contact you back with a wall of text. ⁣
⁣
If you don't want them to over describe what is going on, ask better questions. ⁣
⁣
If you want to make sure you have the answers before you sit down to create a plan, design systems to capture this in advance. ⁣
⁣
There is nothing worse than coming up with a plan, sending it off and then realizing it needs to be entirely re-worked because of what the client has going on. ⁣
⁣
2. Teach them perspective⁣
⁣
It's only human to question when you start something new - but if you can shift your clients effort and attention on the big picture, they'll focus on the big picture. ⁣
⁣
Instill confidence within your clients that what they are doing is going to take care of most their progress, and other matters can wait. ⁣
⁣
3.  Be human⁣
⁣
Just because you are running an online business where your customer isn't right in front of you, doesn't mean it's void of human interaction. ⁣
⁣
Successful coaches still need to listen, be empathetic and thoughtful. ⁣
⁣
There's still a human on both sides of interaction! ⁣
⁣
Hope these help gang. Change can be daunting, but learn from my experience and the transition will be a little easier. ⁣
