The theme of the April 2022 edition of our Coaching Perspective magazine ?was Technology and Coaching. Life coach, Priya Tandon, wrote an important article exploring the theme of connection and how this is helped and hindered by technology. She shares her experience of working in the IT field and her witnessing of its ability to build connection. She also addresses concern, first raised by Christian Louis Lange that technology is either “a useful servant or a dangerous master” and asks how we can embrace technology with grace and compassion. A thought-provoking article!
