Traditional coaching relies on face-to-face contact, so how can we adapt coaching for our remote-first companies?
Distributed work (‘work from anywhere’) has entered the mainstream. In this new way of working, our definition of ‘productive’ is no longer simply being in a specific seat for a set amount of time. Rather, it’s the output and engagement of the person in that seat, regardless of how many hours they’re there.
The distributed environment introduces new considerations – such as time zones and virtual communication styles – that aren’t present in an office-based environment. Distributed organizations are often asynchronous, text-based, and designed for self-starters who enjoy a balance of deep reflection and thought, alongside collaboration with others.
