The Benefits of Online Coaching
It's Convenient
It's Accessible
It's Private
It Allows for Personal Exploration
Choosing email as a way to benefit from life coaching gives you space for exploration. As you write down your story you can take time to really ponder and explore your life. Save emails and re-read them and you will gain greater insights and a fresh perspective on things you may have gotten stuck on previously. Just writing things down is therapy in itself.
It Costs Less
Online life coaching offers you all the benefits for less money. First of all you save any travelling costs – whether that be bus or train fares or fuel and parking costs. Plus online life coaching sessions are lower priced than face to face as I too incur less overheads so can offer these sessions at a lower rate.
Online Life Coaching may be the most suitable option for you if you are able to access the internet and use the software – email, instant messaging or skype, sufficiently well. There is however a few things that you need to be aware of before making any commitment:
Time Delays
if you have opted for email life coaching then you will want to appreciate that there will be some time delay before you hear back from me. The maximum wait time will generally be no longer than 3 days and most likely will be within 24 hours. We will however agree this time period between us prior to us starting to work together
Technology Delays
however good and reliable the internet generally is there will undoubtedly be times when the internet will be slow and this will effect our communication – most particularly on skype or instant messaging.
Potential for Misunderstandings
if we are going to communicate with each other using a text based option ie email or instant messaging then we need to consider that we may interpret a message in a way that wasn’t intended. Without the advantage of body language and tone of voice etc we may miss expressions of humour etc. We can agree how we will look to overcome this prior to starting to work together by use of emoji’s, capitals, even colours etc. I would also like to re-assure you that I will never be rude, unprofessional, demeaning and insulting in any way.
