Keep Your Online Coaching Platform Personal

The Future of Online Coaching

Coaches are often torn between whether they want to use an online coaching platform or not and are considering all the pro’s and con’s associated. One of their main worries is whether this will decrease the ‘personal touch’ of having a coach thus impacting their coaching services. During the Covid-19 pandemic, many coaches have expressed their business being negatively affected and have had to look for alternatives. Many turned to Zoom for coaching sessions, since the entire world has gone virtual. Many teams are successfully working remotely - so why not conduct coaching this way too? Could using an online coaching platform become the “future of coaching”?

Many coaches want to grow their business and move from 1-1 coaching sessions to an online coaching program. The problem is that many times coachees are isolated and it's difficult to keep the coaching personal as part of the learning process. Many coaches who want to grow their business are trying to use traditional online training platforms to deliver their coaching processes, but they are losing the personal touch and face many challenges. Here are the 3 main challenges of why learning platforms usually fail when delivering online coaching: 

1. Coachees are isolated 
2. Learning is passive 
3. No feedback loop 
   

Now there is a new generation of coaching platforms that unlike learning platforms, combine the work of 1-1 coaching with the ability to deliver scalable online courses. This may be the future of coaching!

Using the AFT Model, myQuest can achieve using an online coaching platform and ensuring there is still a personal relationship with the coach during your client’s professional development journey.
