: Greetings from Argentina! Leadership skills will evolve through immersive simulations and role-playing, enabling safe practice in decision-making and conflict resolution. Smart tools like wearables and productivity apps will measure coaching outcomes, focusing on productivity, well-being, and balance. Coaching for adaptability, resilience, and prediction will grow. AI and big data will make coaching more precise, identifying real-time patterns for effective adjustments and improved results.

coaching practices are evolving at different speeds across regions. In the north America and Europe, the field is more mature, especially within large corporations and multinationals. In the Middle East, coaching is still developing, with a growing interest in accredited training programs. Government organizations, in particular, are investing in upskilling their executives and HR professionals to become manager-coaches and internal coaches, often through large-scale programs.

I am curious about how coaching, empowered by emerging technologies, can foster a new digital democracy — one that respects minorities, enables more direct participation, and supports more distributed decision-making.

there is an intake for AI based coaching, however, the need for genuine/authentic empathy will only create more demand for human based coaching.

conversations continue with clients about AI’s impact and amongst coaches, to understand how we move from fear of being replaced by AI, to embracing AI as a resource. How does the coaching profession utilize this technology ethically and practically?
