We have put together some guidance around using your coaching skills in the virtual world we are adapting to as a result of COVID 19. In this guidance there are hints and tips on how to transfer your coaching skills and enhance your meetings online.
This is part of a series and we will be adding more guidance in the coming weeks, so keep a lookout (we will announce when they’re up on our Twitter page).

Before the Meeting
Planning before the meeting is even more important when coaching virtually and will help things run smoothly and ensure everyone gets the most out of the session.
On the call
Virtual team coaching uses all the same skills and techniques as face to face coaching, however be aware that you will need to be more deliberate about some actions in a virtual setting.
Engagement and Interaction
Ensuring engagement and interaction with your team on calls is often a concern. The biggest piece of advice is that you need to plan your engagement (think organised fun!).
Large group meetings
Large meetings can be difficult to make engaging – especially when they are online. MS Teams and Workplace limits the amount of people you can see on the screen to 16 people, which can mean meetings larger than this are also harder to facilitate.
Top Tips for the Meeting Facilitator
All of the skills you need to be an effective facilitator in a live setting still apply in a remote meetings. You still need to be present, maintain awareness and keep your facilitator hat on, even if you’re working from home.
