Hybrid coaching (also known as blended coaching) is a model where the coaching process is part online and part face-to-face, complementing each other. The online parts can be video calls, chat or voice consultations, digital tools, file sharing, task tracking software. Face-to-face sessions provide the opportunity for direct human contact, observation of body language, more intensive interaction and deeper relationship building.
Hybrid coaching aims to harness the benefits of both the online and face-to-face formats, while reducing the disadvantages that are unique to one or the other.
