Seven Reasons Why You Should Use Telephone Coaching

May 24, 2014Leave a commentExecutive CoachingBy Gerrit Pelzer
seven reasons for telephone coaching

Executive Coaching and Leadership Coaching can be delivered in a variety of ways: face to face in person, or remotely via phone or Internet. Whether telephone or Internet, remote coaching has many advantages over coaching in person that most people never think about. Here are my top seven reasons why you should try coaching over the phone.

1. Coaching over the Phone Minimizes Distractions

When I coach managers in their offices they often get distracted: the phone rings, someone needs something urgently, or it’s just the office environment that prevents a busy manger to let go of the thousand things on their mind. A “neutral place” like a coffee shop may be better, but here the waiter interrupts, there is background noise, or you want to see who’s at the next table. In contrast, coaching over the phone allows you to choose a place where you don’t get distracted.

2. Coaching over the Phone is More Effective

Coaching over the phone does not only reduce external distractions. On the phone, neither coach nor coachee need to pay any attention to their body language or to keeping eye contact. You can focus 100% on your thinking, and I can focus 100% on what you’re saying. This makes a big difference.

3. Coaching over the Phone Can be Done Anywhere

You choose the place where coaching works best for you, be that your sofa or your favorite beach. As long as you have a good connectivity, coaching can be done anywhere in the world. This is particularly helpful when you’re traveling a lot.

4. Coaching over the Phone Can be Done Any Time

Maybe coaching works best for you when all local coaches are sleeping or simply don’t want to meet you. All you need to do is find a coach in the right timezone, it doesn’t matter where the coach is.

5. Coaching over the Phone Allows You to Work With the Best Coach

Whether you are looking for a highly specialized coach or for the perfect personal match, with telephone coaching it doesn’t matter if your coach is 5 or 5,000 miles away from you.

6. Coaching over the Phone is More Time-Efficient

Obviously you don’t have to commute to see your coach, and you don’t get stuck in traffic. Telephone Coaching saves time, money, and energy.

7. Coaching over the Phone Can be Done Spontaneously

You may need coaching right now. You want someone as a sounding board for this crucial conversation in one hour. Or you need more clarity before you have to speak during the unscheduled meeting tomorrow. If your coach is available, nothing stops you to get telephone coaching on the spot.

If you have not experienced coaching over the phone, try it. I am sure you’ll love it.

Looking Back and Moving Forward — A Reflection for (even) More Success in the New Year

This time of the year is always a good time to reflect and to plan for the next year. Most people I work with are extremely busy, and many tell themselves that they don’t have any time for reflection. But if you don’t find that time, you will find yourself always in reactive mode, just somehow picking up the pieces that others throw at you. At the end of the day you feel you have not accomplished much — and suddenly you notice another year has just rushed by, and you wonder what you have actually done the whole time…
