Asynchronous Coaching
When we think of coaching, most of us imagine Zoom calls, scheduled check-ins, or in-person meetings. But there's a growing trend in the coaching world that’s transforming the way we grow, learn, and receive support — it’s called asynchronous coaching.
So, what is asynchronous coaching?
Asynchronous coaching is a style of coaching where communication doesn’t happen in real time. Instead, the coach and client connect through voice notes, recorded videos, written messages, or shared documents — often via apps like Voxer, WhatsApp, Slack, or email. It’s flexible, self-paced, and perfect for busy lives.
Why coaches are loving it, too
Coaches offering asynchronous support are finding it helps them:
Show up with more intention and clarity
Set stronger boundaries and avoid burnout
Support more clients without overcrowding their calendars
It’s not about “less support.” In many cases, it’s actually more personalized and consistent, just delivered in a different rhythm.
Why are more coaches turning to asynchronous coaching?
If you're a coach, you're probably familiar with the back-to-back Zoom calls, calendar juggling, and holding deep space for clients all day long. But what if there was a different model — one that allowed you to support clients deeply without being always “on”? You can actually do that with asynchronous coaching!
Why should you consider it?
More spaciousness for you
No more draining Zoom marathons. Async coaching helps you create breathing room in your schedule — while still offering real value and transformation.You hold space better when you’re regulated
You can take time to respond intentionally, from a grounded and clear place — rather than rushing through back-to-back sessions.Clients love the flexibility
Your clients get to process, integrate, and reach out when they need — not just during a weekly time slot. It supports real-life transformation, not just session-time insights.Better boundaries, better business
Async coaching empowers you to set energetic boundaries, work when you’re most focused, and avoid burnout. You don’t have to be “on call” 24/7. You get to co-create the rules.It’s scalable
You can support more clients without doubling your hours. That means more income, more impact, and more freedom, all while doing meaningful work.
5 ways AI can support async coaching without replacing you
Focus on connection and let AI tools help you
AI tools like Notion AI, ChatGPT, and our very own CoachMila™ can help you draft onboarding emails, summarize client notes, organize session transcripts or, in Mila’s case, onboard clients so you can focus more on connection, not just logistics.
Transcribe your notes with AI tools like Otter.Ai
If you're coaching via Voxer or WhatsApp, AI can transcribe long voice notes and even summarize them into key points, making it easier to track progress and reflect with clarity. Also, Otter.ai is a great tool as well!
Creating reflection prompts & resources
Want to send a personalized journaling prompt or worksheet? AI can help generate ideas based on your client’s goals, saving time while still feeling thoughtful.
Content support
AI can help you repurpose client Q&A into blog posts, newsletters, or social media content — so your insights don’t stay hidden in the DMs or voice notes.
Scaling your coaching presence
From building guided meditation scripts to drafting automated check-ins or reminders, AI allows you to serve more people with consistency and heart — while you still provide the human depth.
