In these especially difficult times, business owners are looking for any advantage that they can get. It is a poorly understood situation, but the typical business owner has to juggle so many problems at one time and has such a full agenda that they barely feel that they can function. A typical business owner has to wear an innumerable number of “hats” and take on different roles and multiple personalities throughout each day. Little wonder, that entrepreneurs are turning to executive management coaching and the services of a business coach to move forward.
Faced with a considerable demand for their time, many shrewd owners are employing the services of a mobile business coach. This allows them to conduct discussions with, seek advice and ask questions with a coach interactively, via a wide array of available media. In addition to the conventional telephone call, via landline or mobile phone, e-mail is an increasingly popular mode of communication, as is SMS, the use of a conference website, webinars, Skype phone or instant messaging.
These options allows a business coach to be available and useful whenever they are needed, regardless of physical location. As transportation costs increase and the time that it takes to travel from point A to point B expands, it is anticipated that there will be an increasing demand for mobile executive coaching.
There are four key benefits associated with this approach:
Geographical boundaries disappear, and clients and cultures are able to communicate at their convenience. The sharing of documents and files, even complete computer systems is now possible, and the business coach can instantly look at documents, websites or sensitive files via this two-way technology. Physical boundaries are immaterial in this technological world.
Sometimes, this type of virtual communication offers the participant a sense of security. Insofar as they do not feel that they are “on the spot”, it may allow them to concentrate more on the conversation rather than spurious visual distractions.
Thirdly, as time is of the essence these days, the mobile business coach can cut out the considerable time and resources needed to gain access.
Finally, it has been found that mobile coaching requires as much as 30% less time to deliver than a conventional program, and that sessions are greatly focused and a lot more productive. The system allows both parties to narrow their focus to the discussion at hand and they will often have a very clear idea of what they want to accomplish prior to the session.
While some topics will always require a more personal approach – especially those matters involving security or other confidential matters – mobile business coach services, are taking advantage of the advance of technology, and becoming a much more palatable proposition for the time-harried executive. Consult with your business coach to set up your next mobile consultation.
