One of the most important benefits of phone coaching is that it provides a focused conversation.  Without visual distractions, we are able to really “hear” the conversation in a deeper way.  It is often less threatening when sharing your concerns on the phone. Because you’re being heard and not seen, you may feel more comfortable discussing your problems.  You are also able to take notes as we talk, increasing your ability to retain the coaching information.

In addition, phone coaching is:

• Convenient
• Easy to fit into your busy schedule
• No driving necessary
• No need to hire a babysitter
• Privacy insured
• Cost effective
