The benefits of the online coaching tool:
How many times have you met for a coaching session, spent the first 15 minutes trying to figure out the agenda, then spent the last 15 minutes hammering out action plans that go uncompleted? CoachNet has a solution: online coaching.

CoachNet's online coaching function can help build structure and accountability into the coaching relationship. Our coaching area gives you the ability to track your coaching appointments using online coaching sessions.

• Log key issues and outcomes
• Set the agenda for meetings in advance
• Record prayer needs
• Review the record to follow up on important items and celebrate progress
• Set action items with due dates for completion
• Automatically send reminder emails for your next appointment

Why not just use email?
Sometimes people ask, "Why not just use email to prepare for coaching relationships?" Certainly email is a piece of the preparation. CoachNet incorporates email, but goes beyond it. Using email alone can be hard to organize, with individual pieces often getting lost. The online coaching tool is a management system that provides structure to the coaching relationship, and puts all the necessary tools at your disposal in the same place. When you've prepared a session for review, you can send an email to the session participant(s) so you're literally on the same page.

Additional accountability
"In the early stages of coaching people, I ended up becoming the record keeper and the only instrument for their accountability," says Colin Noyes. "This limited the number of people I could coach. For a while now I have been using the coaching section of CoachNet and get the person who is being coached to do most of the work. The online record then becomes the primary point of accountability. This system has been great for everyone involved." Online coaching allows the person being coached to set their own goals and then follow up on them. Having written goals and a structure in place helps people accomplish their goals more consistently.

Increased effectiveness
Use of CoachNet's online tool can easily double the effectiveness of your coaching. When people use CoachNet's online tool to prepare in advance for coaching sessions, they gain perspective and focus the agenda on the truly important. By logging the insights and outcomes that were discussed you can always go back to review and follow up on key issues. Assigning action items with a due date increases accountability for follow through - both for you and for the leader you're coaching. When it comes time to review the coaching relationship, you can go back to note progress and achievements, as well as evaluate your own coaching skills.

"Online coaching has significantly raised my level of effectiveness and productivity and is helping me keep first things first. There's a lot to be said for the continuity of record-keeping available online. When I look back over the summary, I can see the long-term process all together. It's helped me personally too, beyond the arena of ministry..." - Tom De Vries
