When it comes to meeting up with the client, there are various avenues a business coach can take. They can do their session online, face-to-face, local, international, one-on-one, or group coaching—depending on what’s agreed upon.
Both local and online options have their benefits:
Local business coaching. There’s a certain energy that comes with physical meet-ups and that can be a huge plus for coaches. They’ll be able to better read their client’s moods and body cues. Moreover, there’s more focus and fewer distractions during a face-to-face session.
Online business coaching. Virtual meet-ups offer a more casual environment and are cost-efficient (there’s no commute). Additionally, this option gives coaches the chance to go beyond their borders and take in international clients, if they wish.
There’s not really a better or worse in this case; only what is most comfortable for the coach and their client.
