ABSTRACT

One of the pleasures of the field, in the authors’ experience, is living through the changes and developments in the technologies and seeing the consistencies in human behaviour within those technologies. They have narrowed these down to four essential aspects: Perceived Anonymity, Disinhibition, Telepresence and the natural tendency we have to fill gaps in light of incomplete information (which they call fantasy with a small F). This chapter examines each of these phenomena as it is applicable to Coaching work.
