We’re exploring some striking shadow sides of – in-person and virtual – coaching in my article for Coaching Perspectives – Association for Coaching (AC)‘s International Magazine overseen by James Bridgeman Clare Manning and Stephanie Lucas.
🏁 In a recent survey of 100 mid-sized organizations, we discovered some eye-opening insights about virtual 1:1 coaching:
– 87% of coachees disengaged from coaching early on
– 2 out of 3 coachees requested to be rematched on virtual platforms
🎤 Additionally, in a survey of 100 coaches on virtual platforms, 91% reported perceiving no difference in their coaching presence compared to in-person sessions. Surprisingly, a survey by CoachHub – The digital coaching platform revealed a remarkable 522% return-on-investment through virtual coaching for organizations.
🔔 These findings raise thought-provoking questions:
1. What are coaches committing to when embracing virtual coaching?
2. How does our acceptance of virtual platforms impact coachees and the coaching profession?
3. What biases may influence coaches to overlook distinctions between virtual and in-person coaching?
