Which one a given engagement uses is a function of the work, not of convenience. Coaching runs well remotely, because the work is on your capability and your read, and that is conversation, material, and accountability.

Some signals do not survive a phone call. How the stage runs when a table goes wrong. Whether the kitchen manager is leading or just expediting. Where the cast looks when a decision is needed.
