The Impact of VR and AR on Coaching Experiences
Description
This 45-minute presentation introduces Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in coaching, targeting foundational learners. Grounded in experiential learning theory, it explores current applications (e.g., VR inclusion training) and benefits (engagement, safe practice), aligned with ICF Core Competencies like Creating Awareness. Attendees will examine future possibilities (virtual sessions) and ethical/sustainability challenges (privacy, access, carbon footprint) via polls and Q&A. Participants leave with a VR/AR basics toolkit. Presented by a Business Psychologist, this session blends research and practice to inspire coaches to adapt to emerging tech trends.

Learning Objectives
1. Understand the Core Concepts of VR and AR in Coaching Contexts
Objective: Attendees will be able to define Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) and explain their relevance to coaching by identifying at least two ways these technologies enhance client experiences (e.g., immersive learning, safe practice environments).
Why: Establishes a foundational grasp of VR/AR, grounding the session in actionable theory.

2. Recognize Practical Applications of VR and AR in Current Coaching Practice
Objective: Participants will identify and describe at least two real-world examples of VR/AR use in coaching (e.g., VR inclusion training, AR skill drills) and articulate how they align with ICF Core Competencies, such as Creating Awareness or Direct Communication.
Why: Bridges theory to practice, showing attendees tangible uses they can explore.

3. Evaluate Ethical and Future Implications of VR/AR Integration in Coaching
Objective: Attendees will assess one ethical consideration (e.g., privacy or equitable access) and one future possibility (e.g., virtual coaching sessions) of VR/AR in coaching, discussing their impact on client outcomes and sustainability, consistent with the ICF Code of Ethics.
