Software and Addiction – the Human Element

Session Summary:

In most western countries we are looking at an epidemic of heath related issues.

While commercial companies must take some responsibility the truth is that unless people are nudged and empowered to take responsibility for their own lives then any positive major change will take years which we don’t have.

One way we could speed up change is by becoming more effective at helping each other.

In the same way that the GPS has transformed peoples experience of driving, the next generation of coaching software will transform individual’s ability to help each other.

By combining the effect of personal presence with powerful problem solving processes there is the possibility of a step change in the availability and effectiveness of addiction coaching.

In the session we will be looking at one such programme and discussing the pros and cons of using software in training coaches and distance coaching.
