For a long time, coaching was an exclusive privilege—mainly reserved for senior leaders. But thanks to AI and digital platforms, that is changing. Coaching is now accessible at every level of an organisation, transforming how employees learn, grow and develop. However, this shift also raises important questions: 

Is digital coaching as effective as traditional methods? How can organisations balance human and AI-driven coaching? What challenges should HR leaders anticipate when implementing these tools? 

To uncover these very important questions, in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Anna Tavis, researcher, global educator, coach, and Chair of the Human Capital Management Department at New York University.  

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 
• The future of learning, development and coaching in the next decade 

With AI reshaping the workplace, understanding how to integrate digital coaching effectively is more important than ever.
