coffee break coaching

Just spent a happy hour reading coaching blogs. There are hundreds if not thousands so its hard to find those which might tell me more about my sort of coaching. I'm not a parent coach or an executive coach or even a football coach although I have coached parents, executives and people who play football (soccer that is I'm here in the North East of England)

So where to start; I decided to see what was available by telephone as I like coaching by phone. There's informaiton about coaching by email and by blog so I'll need to learn more about that, blog coaching is a new idea for me. And of course there's coaching when the coach comes to see you in your home or your office or you go to see them in their office. Face to face coaching seems to be most popular with business clients and telephone with people who want to be coached privately which I can understand although its expensive and time consuming and all my coaching is completley confidential.

So my next visit to planet blog will be to find out who is writing about telephone coaching. Why ? Because I've been pretty amazed by the power of life coaching or business coaching by telephone, whether its full forty five minute sessions or what I call coffee break coaching. This is when a client who has already agreed a big goal books two or three fifteen minutes coaching sessions a week to check in with me for extra support as they work towards some sort of stepping stone goal. For people who know what they want to achieve its a time effective way of using coaching. and for me as their personal coach its great as I get to cheer them one one step at a time.

I wonder if anyone else out there uses coffee break coaching by telephone ? and if so how does it work for you ?
