Intel is there, and so is Princeton. Even if, strictly speaking, there is no “there” there.

The virtual world of Second Life has attracted game players, big businesses, and academics–and, as DeeAnna Merz Nagel has written on the Coaching Commons recently, therapists. So should coaches be putting down roots in this virtual soil as well?

In this decidedly different CoachReporter video, we voyage into Second Life and visit the virtual offices of Merz Nagel’s Online Therapy Institute for a conversation about coaching in three-dimensional online world.

Thanks for a very informative video. As a coach myself and co-founder of Psychology21C, I found your video to be a very clear demonstration of the potential of virtual environments for coaching globally. Psychology21C/VE, is a resource for the clinical and non-clinical application of virtual environment technology to the science of human behavior.
