The use of artificial intelligence in Human Resources and the practice of coaching leads to the emergence of a new phenomenon: the development of leaders through automated coaching by artificial intelligence. An exploratory and qualitative empirical study of more than 100 participants shows that the automation of open questioning used in coaching promotes the activation and development of required skills for leaders and future leaders such as the mind critical, empathy, creativity and proactivity. This study not only provides a theoretical framework and variables for future research but also provides practical recommendations for understanding and organizing the use of automated tools by AI.

Drawing on the Foucauldian technologies of the self, this study explores how individuals re-envision practices of wellbeing outside of traditional organizational contexts during extreme events. Based on a thematic analysis of 7,234 comments posted on the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel in 2020, this study unpacks a technologically mediated practice of self-care, which we conceptualize as somametamnemata. Our findings illustrate three entangled aspects of somametamnemata relating to yoga, a form of bodywork: Caring about self through practicing yoga online; caring about self and others through sharing about yoga in written comments; and caring about self and others through responding to shared verbalizations of yoga. By situating the potentiality of individual wellbeing within ill-being, we shift debates and discussions of “corporate wellness” beyond organizational boundaries.
