The Importance of Coaching in the Human Economy

The Importance of Coaching in the Human Economy

The world is in the middle of a major transition. Gone are the days of stability and safety where employees could count on a stable job for life. Artificial intelligence and small off-shore start-ups are growing as threats to employees and companies alike. This is leading to an increase in fear and toxicity in organisations. In a recent study, we noted that 50% of respondents identified their work environment as being one of high blame!

Such an environment calls for new ways of working. New ways of leading. And, new, integrated ways of being. This interactive presentation explains how as Coaches, we are the secret to this transition and explores how building mastery can evolve leadership. It will help Coaches to better understand this thing we call ‘being’ and how to leverage it to increase interdependence in all of our relationships (professional and personal).
