First, I think we're going to see a lot more e-coaching, or coaching by chat. Some have secure chat rooms - an on-demand approach, rather than setting up a specific appointment. It'll be LESS formal, 30-minute sessions and MORE "Give me 2 minutes of your time". 1, record 3, English, - coaching%20by%20chat

Le coaching par «chat». C'est évident qu'il y a certaines réticences à envisager le coaching à distance. De notre point de vue, toute situation, tout choix, toute personne a les qualités de ses défauts. Concernant cette forme de coaching, elle a l'avantage de faire abstraction des apparences et de se focaliser sur l'essentiel, sans parler du confort lié à l'absence de déplacement : le service, à domicile et à coût réduit. 1, record 3, French, - coaching%20par%20chat
