the growing popularity of self-coaching tools. I suspect that AI-based apps will become more and more advanced “thinking partners” that can tailor-make prompts, monitor moods and thought loops, and incorporate neuroscience to nudge “day-to-day self-inquiry”. Human coaches will endure and move toward more of a supervision role for these self-coaching experiences, to help ensure clients are aware of and staying on track with their deeper goals.
