I've rceived coaching over the phone
and in person, and my preference is over the phone. As well as
all of the logistical benefits, I find myself much less self conscious
and more free to explore ideas. I've already made significant
changes, and on my way to reaching goals that a few months ago
would have thought completely unobtainable.

"I have been working with Duncan over the last
couple of years. Telephone coaching works extremely well for me,
there are even some aspects of it that I prefer over face-to-face
meetings, e.g. that it allows me to better focus on my thoughts
and feelings. I feel less distracted by how I look or how the
other person looks at me. It creates a very safe space and despite
the distance I feel that physical aspects such as my breathing
patterns or body tension are being picked up and improved."

I was hesitant about telephone coaching because I
don't like speaking on the phone. However, when I was coached
by Duncan (both in 2007 and 2011-2012), he was so present that
I was not occupied by whether I was talking on the phone or face
to face.

“I had doubts that without physical presence,
coaching would not be powerful enough. However, Duncan proved
to me in our long term distant relationship that it is even more
powerful when the coach's presence is strong. His presence in
the sense of his listening skills, curiosity, feedback style,
experience, common sense, authenticity and tone of voice hold
me so tightly that I never feel the physical distance. I find
my experience very fulfilling and impactful.”

I have worked with Duncan Coppock for some time
now and the coaching has been done entirely by telephone. It has
been highly effective for me and his ability not only to ask powerful
questions but particularly to listen and hone into the levels
of energy in my voice has been impressive and this enabled me
to get greater self-insights that have proved very useful in bringing
about my desired outcomes.
Adrian McGinn, Co-founder Connexia Global
I highly value being coached by Duncan Coppock for
over a year now. Sessions are taken over the phone without using
video and I find it easier to focus on the exchange itself. I
wasn't sure how this telephone coaching would work but it turned
out to be not only practical but also a really effective process,
which supports me to make the changes I need to make.
Martine Lepert, Human Resources, Luxembourg
I was always a bit sceptical about telephone coaching,
I thought it would be better face to face but I tried it and found
it extremely beneficial. Duncan was able to contract effectively
and create a safe space to do some really powerful work. In some
ways, the coaching being on the telephone was a lot easier, I
could do it where ever I was and we got a lot done in a shorter
space of time. Duncan build a good and effective relationship
quickly and now I enjoy doing the coaching over the telephone
and get real value out of each session.

I’ve worked with Duncan for the past eight
years (??!) and have found telephone coaching with him to be highly
effective in helping me achieve my goals.
Nicola Jones, Executive Coach
"I tried coaching over phone over several months
- this works just perfectly! In many ways, it is actually better
than face-to-face meetings. The phone maintains distance from
body language interference, which can be distracting, and helps
focus on the essential, our self-being! Love it and ready to go.

"Telephone coaching has helped me to realise
the belief I have in myself and my own work, to feel strong enough
to embark on an independent career. Even though we have never
met, I have found this support to be very valuable, something
I draw on at different points in my personal and professional
journey."
