I started using this mindfulness app that links to my smartwatch, and it’s been a game changer for tracking my stress. It made me think, what if coaching uses more of that? A client wearing something that tracks their focus or anxiety during sessions and you could see that data. It feels like it could take coaching to a whole new level to use tech with a personal touch.

… there is a shift in how Organisations are embracing Coaching. There is more focus on coaching being embedded as a Leadership capability and huge impetus to creating more internal coaches towards enabling a transformative culture .

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

coaches could start using VR for things like leadership simulations or team-building exercises? I read about a tech company in Singapore using VR to train employees. It feels like this could bring a new level of immersion to coaching, especially for skill development.

The future of coaching is twofold: growing, globally relevant, and more needed than ever—yet also called to deeper transformation. It must move beyond technique and root in awareness, ethics, presence, and authentic human connection. Coaching should bridge inner and outer change, AI and human wisdom, performance and wholeness, how things work and why they matter. Coaching must cultivate ethical sensitivity as power, identity, and digital boundaries become more complex and challenges of our time.
