Verifying Perspectives

Abstract

Verify perspectives is the “V” phase of VECTOR virtual coaching and focuses on establishing a relationship of trust between the coach and coachee. Professional learning requires a degree of vulnerability and empathy between the coach and coachee that can be achieved by purposefully spending time getting to know one another using the questions, strategies, and activities embedded in this chapter. Included anecdotes help elucidate why this phase is critical to support future virtual coaching efforts.
