Coach Via Email

How Does Coaching Via Email Work?

With email coaching, you and I will exchange up to four emails each week to help you focus and move towards your goals. The weekly process goes something like this:

  • You will send the first email at the beginning of the week that answers a series questions to assess your progress and define your goals.
  • I will respond with comments, coaching questions and support.
  • You reply with your responses and any questions you may have.
  • I respond with answers, exercises to support your growth, and additional information to
    support you and your goals.

I will answer your emails within 24 hours Monday - Friday and will dedicate up to one hour each week of support to you. I work with clients for the first three weeks of each month. The last week provides you with time to process the work that has been done and allows you time to focus on other areas of our life.

We will begin our relationship with a Foundation Session. This session helps me see where you are in your life and where you want to go. You will identify your values, mission in life and your goals. This sets the basis for our coaching relationship and helps to provide you with a compass that will guide you forward in your life. I highly encourage you to complete your Foundation Session by phone so we can build rapport and understand each other’s communication styles. However, you do have the option to do your Foundation Session via email.

Following the Foundation Session, I encourage clients to commit to coaching by email for at least one month (three weeks). Following that first month, you may continue to coach on a weekly or monthly basis.

What Are The Benefits Of Coaching Via Email?

  • You are not tied to a specific appointment and can send and receive your coaching at a
    time and place that is convenient for you.
  • Coaching via email can provide a greater level of focus on specific goals.
  • You have time to process the material in your mind and will not feel pressured to answer a
    question “on the spot”.
  • Sometimes it is easier to be honest in writing rather than on the phone.
  • You will have a written record of your progress and can save your emails for future
    reference.
Is Coaching Via Email Right For Me?

Email Coaching will not work for everyone. One big difference between email and phone coaching is that there is a lack of personalized interaction when communicating by email. It is difficult at times to interpret each other’s emotions and intentions because we cannot hear one another’s tone of voice. Although it is not required, I encourage my clients to do their initial Foundation Session by phone. This call helps us to build rapport prior to beginning our coaching through email. It would also be to your benefit to occasionally do your coaching by phone for more personalized service.

Coaching via email will work best if you:

  • Communicate best through writing
  • Like to have time to process your thoughts
  • Prefer to be in contact with me more often than once a week.
  • Are unable to dedicate a full hour during a weekday to coach by phone
  • Are unable to find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed to coach by phone
  • Are looking for a more economical way to receive coaching. If you typically pay for long
    distance phone charges, these can be avoided by coaching via email.
  • Don’t have the need for lots of verbal encouragement
  • Are very focused and clear on your values and beliefs, have a very clear agenda, and you
    are looking for someone who will keep you on task and accountable for your goals.
