Coaching continues to evolve, and it is rapidly becoming a cultural intervention process across the organization. Instead of benefitting the people at the top, it is benefitting all of the organization's human capital. - by Ingrid Johnson

Business coaching is like any other business function or process. It is impacted by technology and evolves over time. Once it was a process used primarily to develop executive leadership abilities, or it served as an intervention when an executive needed increased self-awareness concerning things like management style and team building.
