competencies, while helpful to start with, become less relevant as we gather experience. Relational skills and collective work begin to matter more. Being able to bring the proper focus, mindset, and attention to match the coachee’s needs at any given moment is essential. Learning is less effective in silos and more transformational in collaboration with peers.

there was a possibility of having “Annual Mental Health Checkup”. Post world wars our societies have been working relentlessly toward growth, building, creating, achieving, succeeding and all. Then COVID happens, a sudden big break to everything that we were up against at a very high speed. The repercussions of which are far beyond what is visible yet. I feel coaching is going to be at frontline along with other mental health professions in taking the world toward healthy and sustainable growth.

AI will provide quick advice on HOW to DO practical things. I think people want a more personalized support for figuring out the challenges they are facing. Advice from family and friends, self improvement courses and self-help books often involve generic skills and tools that may more may not work. As coaching becomes more mainstream, accessible and affordable, I think the demand for live one-on-one coaching will grow as people seek to figure out how to tackle their unique wants and needs.

The broader adoption of AI coaching and a coach aggregator adoption will change the definition of coaching in the public mind from a reflective practice to a behavior modification practice.
