Connecting Virtually:
How to better engage my Clients in virtual sessions

What does your presence actually feel like on a screen

Every coach and trainer working virtually has felt it: the flatness, the fatigue, the sense that something about presence gets lost between two screens.. Virtual sessions change how our brains process connection, attention, and trust, for us and for our clients.
In this interactive session, you'll experience — not just hear about — what makes virtual presence harder, and what helps. Using Six Seconds tools and methodology, you'll check in on your own virtual experience, explore the science behind why screens are demanding, and practice noticing your own patterns with a coaching partner. You'll leave with a felt sense of your own presence, edge, and tools you can bring straight into your next virtual session.

Key Takeaways

• The Neuroscience of Virtual Presence: Understand four research-backed reasons virtual sessions are more demanding — for you and for your clients — and how this connects to the ICF Presence competency.
• Notice your patterns: Use online tools in the session to notice your own patterns around virtual presence — what pulls you out, what triggers you, what helps you stay in.
• Strengthen your own presence: Leave with a concrete practice for strengthening your own presence online, and a first-hand experience of using online tools as a coaching & facilitation tool you can bring to your own clients.
