A Virtual Solution

Abstract

The authors tell the story of how the VECTOR virtual coaching process was developed. They share some of the data and tell about the iterative process of working with virtual coaches to develop and refine the virtual coaching process to work better for coaches and coachees. They introduce each phase of the VECTOR process as well as the ACTIVATE acronym that defines the qualities virtual coaches should develop and foster in order to be successful in their work. This chapter acts as a preview to the chapters to follow – one for each phase of the VECTOR process and a full chapter devoted entirely to ACTIVATE.
