Forms of Coaching
There are two basic forms of coaching:
- Face to face coaching
- Distance coaching (tele & e-coaching, e-mail coaching)
The most powerful form of coaching is in a face to face context. Distance coaching is facilitated by technology using telephone (tele-coaching) or the inter net (e-coaching and e-mail coaching). Many people now use the internet instead of telephone networks, so tele-coaching and e-coaching are merging.
Forms of Coaching in detail
The selection of a specific form of coaching is based on the needs and preferences of the client within the range of services available. Distance coaching supplements face-to-face coaching by providing increased access to coaching on the basis of necessity or convenience. Barriers, such as being a long distance from coaching services, geographic separation of a group or couple, or limited physical mobility as a result of having a disability, can make it necessary to provide coaching at a distance. Options, such as scheduling coaching sessions outside of traditional service delivery hours or delivering coaching services at a place of residence or employment, can make it more convenient to provide coaching at a distance.
