What is an online life coach?
An online life coach is someone who provides their coaching services virtually via phone, Skype, video, email, or chat.
Differences between in-person and online coaching?
The main difference of in-person and online coaching is that you are no longer driving to an office to meet with your life coach.
What are the benefits of online coaching?
A. Save Time
Of course the number one benefit of seeing your coach online or by phone is the convenience.
Gone are the days where you are forced to have to spend twenty to thirty minutes in your car in traffic having to drive across town for your session.
B. Access To More Coaches
Finding the right coach that fits your needs and personality is not easy.
If you are confined to your local area then you are limited to only a handful of coaches. But when you are willing to work online, the entire world of coaches is available at your fingertips.
C. More Relaxed
Because you are not sitting in traffic or feeling rushed from having to stop everything you are doing to drive and meet your coach, you are more relaxed and at ease.
This is especially true for those of you who live in congested cities or areas with extreme weather like rain or snow.
D. More Privacy
Many clients feel safer and more secure when they are in the privacy of their own home or office allowing them to open up more.
In many cases, a coaching session can make you feel vulnerable and having to wait in an office setting or see people as you leave can feel unsettling and uncomfortable.
E. Save Money
Some coaches are less expensive because they don’t have to cover the costs of their office and overhead.
And let’s face it, gas isn’t cheap saving you an extra $20 a month on fuel.
F. More Productive
Because you are saving up to an hour of time that you would otherwise spend driving to and from an office, this allows you more time to be productive.
G. Time for Introspection
Having five to ten minutes to spend before and after your session can help you increase the effectiveness of your coaching sessions.
By spending a few minutes before the session to review your notes and focus on what you want to accomplish can help get a lot more from that session.
And by having a few minutes after the session to digest and process everything you just went over will help you get more focused on what you need to do next.
But if you had to drive to an office and drive back from the office, your mind is easily scattered not allowing you those precious moments to gain more from the session.
H. Frequency
Since online coaching does not require you to drive across town, this allows you the opportunity to work with your coach on a more frequent basis. Many online coaches provide email, text, and chat support on a regular basis giving you that consistent nudge to push forward.
I. Immediate Support
There are many instances where you may need immediate support or feedback and because you have established an online coaching relationship, many providers are more willing to respond to your email and text right away rather than you having to wait an extra week or two before your next session.
J. Writing vs Speaking
Many online life coaches provide email and text support which makes it easier for those who prefer to write their thoughts rather than speak them.
K. Sick or Injured
If for any reason you become sick or injure, you can still work with your coach avoiding cancellation fees.
L. Cancellation Forgiveness
Cancelling your coaching session is never a good thing. But many coaches are more forgiving if it is an online session because they are not stuck at their office. So if your schedule is demanding where things are constantly changing or emergencies pop up, having an online coach is much better.
Who can benefit from online coaching the most?
- Individuals whose preferred provider does not work or live in your area
- Stay at home moms who have kids to raise and may find it difficult to leave their home.
- Busy workers who have a demanding schedule and can’t find the time to drive to an office.
- Overwhelmed college students who may not have a car or the time to drive to an office
- Individuals who travel often and may find it difficult to see their in-person coach on a regular basis
Does online coaching work?
Yes it does so long as you are willing to set aside the time and make the space to do the work.
One of the benefits of in-person coaching is that it forces you to stop what you are doing and focus on the coaching session in a controlled environment at your coaches office
If you lack discipline, you can easily be distracted while meeting with your coach via phone or video chat by having web browsers open, checking your phone, or being interrupted by other people in your home or office.
So make sure to create a quiet and safe space where you will not be interrupted and remove all distractions. By doing so, online coaching will work just as effective as in-person.
How to find an online life coach
If you want to find a life coach, here are some questions you can ask them that will help you find the right fit:
A. What do you specialize in?
While the coaching profession covers many goals and interests, it is important to find someone who best fits your immediate needs.
For example, if you are someone who want to improve your relationships, then it would best serve you to find a relationship coach.
B. What was your training and background?
It is important that the coach you hire have some form of professional training.
But more importantly, it’s important to learn more about who they are and how they think. While certain aspects of the coaching relationship are straightforward, many other aspects will be highly specific to what your needs are.
It’s important that you find someone who is as successful as you want to be in whatever your goals are.
C. Are you accredited by The International Coaching Federation?
The ICF is the accreditation standard for most coaches.
But just because someone is not accredited by them does not mean they are not a viable or good option for you.
D. What types of online coaching do you provide?
Because online coaching can be done by phone, video, chat, email, or text, it is important to know which ones they support.
