Cyber Citizenship: Navigating the Digital Landscape in Coaching
| Speakers: Jacinta Jimenez & Jeffrey Hancock Title: Cyber Citizenship: Navigating the Digital Landscape in Coaching Abstract: The coaching industry is evolving towards unprecedented access, scale, and globalization. The rise of digital coaching can be a massive enabler, but also requires adaptation of traditional coaching models. One critical adaptation comes from a construct new to coaching–Cyber Citizenship (Singer, Fisk & Anderson, 2021). In this eye-opening talk, attendees will embark on a journey to explore the critical aspects of responsible and ethical online behavior via three foundational pillars–digital literacy, global civics, and cybersecurity. This interactive fireside chat discussion between Jeff Hancock, PhD founding director of the Stanford Social Media Lab and Professor in the Department of Communication at Stanford University and Jacinta M. Jiménez, PsyD, BCC, Vice President of Coaching Innovation at BetterUp, will include stories, data, and practical application to bring this important and timely topic to life. This session will empower coaches to navigate the digital landscape with integrity, gain awareness of the threats and opportunities, and ultimately, foster a safe and effective digital coaching environment for all. |
