Do you know that you can receive all the benefits of a coaching session right on the phone?I know a lot of people are really curious about coaching by phone and if it really works and can it really be effective.When I firstlooked intoa coaching business, I was quite surprised to find thata highpercent was coaching by phone.I have found that this kind of coachingcan bejust aseffectiveas doing so in person.
The benefits of coaching by phone instead of in person are quite startling. One advantage is that you can be coached by someone that specializes in something you want to work on that is just is not accessible in your local area. Many communities don't have anyone trained in the area you are searching for, and coaching by phone can be the only method of receiving the help you want and need.Even in larger cities, it's sometimes difficult to find anyone that is qualified in a coaching method you want and with whom you trust.
The thought that a coach's actual presence is needed for the coaching to be a success is just untrue.In fact, I've foundcoaches can reach and help people via the telephone thatthey couldn't have in person. The clients were either unable to come into the office or they just really didn't want anyone knowing about their business.But by coaching by phone they can receive all the necessary help they want and need with the upmost privacy and hardly any initial effort. The clients' results are usually very dramatic.
Also,many coaches are trained to listen. There are many auditory cues that a good coach listens for. Some of these cues are more effective than visual cues.
Coaching by phone focuses solely on a client's voice which is extremely powerful and should never be underestimated.Professional coachescan directly address the clients' issues and really connect on a higher level that couldn't have been achieved as fast as with a session done in person.
It's also been found that statistically, clients feel less self conscious about discussing certain personal issues that they would otherwise feel awkward about discussing in person.If you want to work on sensitive subjects then you will most likely feel more at ease with coaching by phone and will be able to share more which will help you get more out of your sessions.
