Accelerated growth in the use of technology has prompted a tremendous change in working environments over the last decade. As coaching gets implemented against the backdrop of continued technological advancement, an opportunity to understand how technology is being leveraged is presented. We suggest that technology has the potential to impact coaching in 5 specific ways: coach selection, business/process management for the coaching engagement, supplementing face-to-face coaching, replacing face-to-face coaching, and coach/coaching engagement evaluation. Advantages and pitfalls of using technology in coaching are discussed. Opportunities for future research exploring the interaction of coaching and technology are presented.
