I Love the Power of Coaching by Telephone!
Back when I used to offer my coaching and consulting in person I never believed the power of doing this via telephone. I was strictly trained that eye contact and body language are necessary components of coaching and training, and that without these there would be diminished results. I think differently now!
I think that people feel invisible over the phone, so they tend to open up more to me. They have the flexibility of making the call from a comfortable spot to them. They don’t need to drive to meet with me. They don’t need to get dressed up for our meeting. They don’t need to watch their physical presence during our meeting, and can just be comfortably themselves. They also don’t have to try to read my body language, wondering what my reactions might mean. They can be themselves, relax, feel comfortable, and “let it all hang out”. I stay invisible and play less of a role than my client or session participants, and this works well for all of us!
I’ve had cases where clients – especially business clients - have made it clear to me that they want to keep our relationship and sessions “strictly business”. I am happy to comply. And, because of the safeness of being invisible on the phone often these same clients tend to open up like a book, sharing all kinds of personal and professional information as they go more deeply into their transformation.
I now enjoy offering teleseminars much more than presenting a seminar in front of an audience, and this is after thirty years of enjoyably and successfully working live audiences. I am more at ease and have all of my reference materials around me to share. My participants are equally at ease, and get a discount because none of us have to travel or rent a space for the seminar. We also can communicate easily back & forth, so I cover all of the NLP modes of communication: visual, auditory, kinesthetic even by telephone! It is great!
Even though I offer energy therapy, this is very doable by telephone. And, when one connects via SKYPE or some other internet-based telephone connection with video capabilities, then it feels like the person is actually in the room as I coach, and vice versa. One client recently asked me for some energy healing as part of her meridian tapping therapy, and as I worked by distance on her I watched via video feed as she took off her glasses, closed her eyes, and received. It was great – and she was sitting in her home on an island off the coast of France! I love technology!! 
So, the next time you feel that you might not get as much out of a coaching relationship by phone, I invite you to shift your thinking like I did many years ago. Back then I would have argued against the potency of telephone coaching and teleseminar training, and now I love coaching by telephone!

Conscious Living By Tapping through Blockages with EFT
It all happened the day that my out-of-state visitors were arriving and I began to cook for them. The kitchen sink clogged up… not like it had done before; this time it was fully plugged, blocked, unusable. Luckily I have a home warrantee insurance package, and EFT!
- 4:00 p.m. – I called the insurance company for help,
- 5:30 p.m. – I called them back and got the same run-around about not being able to find a provider in my area. The guests were here now!!.. and getting hungry!
- 8:30 p.m. - Guests were getting hungrier, and my sweetie and his cousin were trying to unblock the sink… and making a mess!
- 9:00 p.m. – I started calling neighbors looking for a plumbing snake or something to pour into the drain to de-clog it. Now there were comments about noxious fumes poisoning the guests. They were getting irritable!
- 9:30 p.m. – We threw together an easy dinner (not the nice one I had planned), and had some good conversation before bed. I was a zombie! Tapped some more…
- 8:30 a.m. – We made it through the night, washed dishes in the bathtub and now guests are happy with cookies and fruit for breakfast before they leave.
- 8:45 a.m. - A local plumber has been alerted and is waiting for an OK from the insurance company.
- 9:00 a.m. – The plumbers still have no word from the insurance company. More calls back & forth.
- 9:30 a.m. – The plumber is still waiting for the fax to come through. Tap, tap, tap,… why have I caused this blockage… and why am I causing it to last so long??!!
- 11:00 a.m. – After multiple calls and lots of EFT tapping the plumber finally arrives with his helper.
- 11:15 a.m. – Tap, tap, tap,… there is acid being sucked out by a vacuum sitting on my oriental rug!
- 11:30 a.m. – Tap, tap, tap,… the high pressure water pump is squirting water all over my kitchen as they locate a leaky valve.
- 11:45 a.m. - The plumber is on the phone with the insurance company asking for authorization to clean out the clog and rebuild my under-sink plumbing. I sure hope he is authorized! Tap, tap, tap!
I know that I set up some resistance to having company after being out of town for an extended weekend, and it showed up in several ways. The sink drain was just one of them, and it was the most blatant. As I identified what was going on in my life around me, and tapped myself into clarity and peace-of-mind, the parts to the drama fell into place and eventually the problem was solved… and I now have new, better plumbing under my kitchen sink! And, I feel much better and have a different perspective about certain aspects of my life!
Thank goodness for tapping!!
