Coaching Practice 2030, what will it look like?

Coaching is an integrated part of many organizations now due to the changed requirements of the modern work environment. We are flooded by information; it's complex, leadership culture changed, and we must deliver more in less time.

There is a huge risk in automatization trends for business models who sell "democratized coaching for all", but don't fully integrate common professional coaching quality standards.

Coaching is in high demand, however, offered at a low price (e.g., "Coaching Apps") since more and more automation and scaling opportunities are integrated into business models.

You can guess what this does to the high-quality 1:1 coaching practice as we know it…

Coaching is meant to analyze personal needs, motives, conditions, etc., in-depth to detect the uniqueness in common.

"Rapport," the relationship between coach and client, is known to be the critical success factor!

Thus, "Premium Coachings" will not become extinct, but they may become more technological.

The keyword is HYBRID COACHING.

It is combining the best of two worlds. Real, long and short, on and offline sessions.

The bigger problem I see right now is that coaches are not tech-affine. Most technological tools used for the modern coaching practice as it stands right now have been built without them.

Coaches need to get involved in the discussion and explore solutions besides Zoom, Mural, and Miro boards.

I hear very often that "Zoom+ does an okay job," – but really, is "okay" a standard you want to deliver to your clients? We can't just be okay with this!

And I am not okay that the coaching techniques of the future are built without the professional coaching standards and needs that most of us stand for.

Will we adjust the hybrid coaching to the technology available to us and hope "CoachTech" will eventually get better, or will we actively engage?

It's up to us how 2030 looks like; the tech industry can do it with or without us.

What the h*ll were they thinking? 🤯🤯🤯

Have you ever expressed frustration about an employee?
…your boss?
…your partner?

If you can answer this with a 'yes' you are most likely to benefit from a perspective change in Virtual Reality (VR).

VR has the potential to create the illusion of being in a real environment and experiencing a situation in someone else's shoes.

So where could I try this, and what would it do to me?

We tried Equal Reality, a solution that uses perspective changes through VR to make a difference in this world.

The experience we had was very intense, feelings that surfaced very real, and the perspective change I undertook remains impressive and memorable to me!

I guess Rick Martin would agree with me that there are several benefits and use cases for integrating VR into a training or coaching practice.

Would you want to try it? And if so, whom would you change perspectives with?

The ‘Motion Sickness’: let’s bury it once and for all!

Every so often I get asked: “How will my clients feel when trying Virtual Reality? I don’t want them to get dizzy.”

Technology changes at a fast pace.
What was true yesterday is not likely to be true today and will have become obsolete tomorrow.

This also applies to ‘motion sickness’.

We have manifested this belief so strongly that it is not easy to get rid of it anymore 😅

Yes, I get tired of computer screens, etc. too after 8 hours.

But I would never use VR for several hours straight - I mean who does that any other than the 2 crazy dudes who broke Guinness World Record in 2017 by spending 50 hours in VR? (Fact!)😂

Actually, Sam Isaacson has described his VR experience very clearly, hopefully, that will convince you that the standard motion sickness you have heard of over the past years have been solved due to better development.

Thanks, Sam for exploring this topic for us!

The power of 'Virtual Embodiment' is immense. We can slip into someone else perspective in a safe environment, practice conflict resolution and externalize "conversations with yourself" to gather new findings.

Professor Mel Slater and colleagues are some of many pioneers exploring how to use technology to make it easier to train, coach, and receive therapy.

Note: The technology in this video has advanced a lot compared to what's shown, but everything is explained very well and all the principles mentioned still apply today!

We can’t continue without good communication, emotions, and self-reflection!

The CoachTechSummit is a purposeful gathering of coaches, trainers, and HR Pioneers all around the world to join the discussion on how to evolve Coaching Technology in the 21st century!

Over zoom and other tools, we’ve seen that we are lacking in human contact and emotional connection. Thus, this year we are focussing on how Virtual Reality Technology can benefit coaching and training through its immersive emotional experiences and experiential learning environments.

The summit will explore safeguarded role play with immerse perspective changes, conflict resolution, clear work communication, constellation work, imaginative and creative content environments that we could never access before.

Influential Speakers and award-winning technological experts from all around the globe will share their research and insights.

Together we can take the coaching and training industry into a new era.

Join us at www.coachtechsummit.com

It is a pivotal time for the learning and development industry. Especially VR personal development companies are growing rapidly – and so are their users.
