Coaching from a Distance: Developing Your Team When You Can’t Be Face to Face

Learn, practice and use the right tools and techniques to coach your remote team.

The Key Issues

The countless ways in which professionals now communicate means business can be conducted almost anywhere. This has introduced the element of distance (both real and virtual) between coach and subject. Coaching skills that once worked so effectively face-to-face won’t get the job done today. For a remote or virtual environment, coaches must develop an entirely new battery of skills—from innovative ways of listening to new measures of coaching success.
