O knihe

In the case of virtual coaching and mentoring (or e-mentoring and ecoaching; or coaching/
mentoring by wire-choose your own preferred nomenclature!) there are hundreds, perhaps
thousands of programs and initiatives across the world. Yet there is comparatively little in the
way of comparison of good practice or academic evaluation of what does and doesn't work.
We found numerous individual case studies but a dearth of empirical research and no significant
collection of cases to illustrate the diversity of applications.
Virtual Coach, Virtual Mentor provides a wide variety of perspectives on a rapidly growing
phenomenon. We hope and intend that it should make a timely and significant contribution to
good practice and to encouraging more practitioners and their clients and more organizations
to experiment with using electronic media to enrich coaching and mentoring. The view of ecoaching
and e-mentoring is firmly one that these new media are less a replacement for traditional
face-to-face than an enhancement of learning alliances in general. We see no evidence of
fewer face-to-face coaching or mentoring relationships-on the contrary, they continue to become more popular and widespread.
Rather, we see that virtual coaching and mentoring both enrich predominantly face-to-face relationships, by connecting partners at
times between formal meetings, and open up coaching and mentoring to new audiences and new applications.
