Cathy Liska Given that 40% of people are primarily visual and many more are secondarily so, visuals, diagrams, or info-graphics are great tools for coaches. As an example, when explaining coach training or coaching certification classes in a webinar, a visual of the model and process for coaching helps people understand coaching. As a coach offering services, a diagram or visual on your website can be helpful for clients. Additionally, diagrams or info-graphics on social media garner attention.
Take the idea of visuals past explaining coach training or coaching services and consider it a tool for clients to organize their thoughts, gain clarity, and/or remember something. As a coach the more easily you can create diagrams, info-graphics, or visuals, the more easily you can help a client during a coaching session by creating it for them as they talk and explore or by helping them create their own. Creating a visual is a brainstorming opportunity too.
