Coaching is now accessible at every level of an organisation, transforming how employees learn, grow and develop. However, this shift also raises important questions:

Together, David and Anna discuss:

• How AI-driven coaching is being used in organisations today
• Who benefits most from digital coaching—and who might not
• Key considerations for HR leaders implementing AI coaching tools
• Common challenges in adoption and how to navigate them
• The impact of AI coaching on employee feedback and workforce insights
