Yes! To make sure your profile is correctly tagged to offer virtual lessons, log into your account, go to the ‘profile’ tab, and check the box indicating that you’re available for online sessions. This will make it clear to potential clients that you’re open to coaching virtually, and they can easily book lessons through your profile. Make sure your profile reflects the tools or platforms you use for virtual sessions (such as Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet) so clients know what to expect.
Best Practices for Virtual Coaching
When conducting virtual lessons, it’s important to ensure you’re set up for success. Here are a few tips:
- Use a Stable Internet Connection: Make sure you have a reliable internet connection to avoid disruptions during your sessions.
- Prepare Your Space: Choose a quiet, well-lit space where you can coach effectively and demonstrate techniques clearly.
- Engage Clients: Virtual coaching requires you to be extra engaging since you can’t rely on physical presence to create energy. Use clear instructions, demonstrate exercises when possible, and stay connected with your clients through active communication.
- Set Expectations: Be upfront with clients about how virtual lessons will work, whether you’ll be providing exercises, feedback, or additional resources.
Offering virtual lessons not only increases your availability but also provides your clients with more options to train with you. If you’re new to virtual coaching, don’t worry—AU is here to support you, and we’re happy to provide tips and resources to help you succeed.
