Quick Video: Online Coaching with the “Jigsaw Box”

Can you remember life before email?

In a short time, so much of our lives has migrated online.  And coach Nicola Bird believes coaching belongs online, too. Bird’s developed an online coaching platform called “Jigsaw Box” that’s currently in its Beta testing phase. The platform promises to “give you ideas on creating content for your JigsawBox, ways to keep your clients on track, and of course how to market your online coaching program.”

As Bird tells CoachReporter Mark Joyella–fittingly via webcam–coaches can build their businesses easily by adding online coaching, attracting clients who don’t have the time or money for other kinds of coaching, and some clients who want an easy entry point to give coaching a try.

Watch the video here:

If you’d like a more detailed tour of the Jigsaw Box–and a chance to ask your own questions about online coaching–Nicola Bird’s hosting a free webinar on the subject on October 20th.

This is amazing!
8 years ago I started to move from one country to another and it logically affected my career. Sometimes I couldn’t even work because I wasn’t conversant in the local language.
With an online platform like this, I can be in contact with Spanish or English speakers around the world no matter where I am.
Thanks Mark for this report!

Thanks Ana! Glad you enjoyed the story–and please let me know if you try out an online platform… I’m sure other coaches would be interested to know how it works out for you.

Online Coaching is a great additional service to add to a coaches coaching funnel.

Clients are looking for a range of services, some prefer telephone, face2face, email, or MSN and adding an online coaching option allows your prospects to determine what suits their learning style and not just what is within budget though that obviously is a key consideration for many.

Interesting post Mark, thanks.
