The Changing Modern Workplace: The Need for Coaching

Coaching is transforming the modern workplace due to several factors, including the challenges faced by recent college graduates. Business leaders have expressed concerns about the work ethic and communication skills of new graduates. However, instead of blaming individuals, leaders are encouraged to explore underlying issues and support growth and development. Coaching, along with positive psychology principles, is seen as essential for psychological well-being in the workforce. Cultivating trust, fostering belonging, and promoting curiosity are key competencies in coaching that can facilitate positive change and counteract negative behaviors such as blame and superiority.
