Prince Harry is now chief impact officer for BetterUp, a Californian corporate consultancy whose ‘mission’ is to sell online life coaching with — in his words, — ‘innovation, impact and integrity’. Harry may not realise it, but he is the latest celebrity frontman for the rapidly growing, broadly unregulated and frequently dubious corporate ‘coaching’ industry. And you might not realise it, but Harry, Duke of Malibu is your future, because California’s today is America’s tomorrow and Britain’s next week.
BetterUp is one of a group of Californian companies on the growing, corporate edge of life coaching. Its competitors have names like Workbot, Hone and Clear Review and they all claim to have discovered the secret to improving motivation and productivity at every level of corporate life — using data modelling and artificial intelligence to target what BetterUp calls ‘hyperpersonalised coaching’ at every employee.

One company I worked for spent millions to silence sexual harassment complaints from 2 women against the VP of HR.
Harry has a gig with the Aspen Institute.
If that names rings a bell, it should.
And still nobody’s asking if Harry is here on a visa that allows the Harkles to avoid paying US income taxes.
I hire a business coach on occasion to help with ways to better run the business and not get burned out. I don’t think Harry and Megan are good examples of how hard work brings success. Being in the lucky sperm club and a whining crybaby aren’t really people I am going to look to for advice
Did the millions go to the two women, or was it spent on lawyers, and private investigators hired to find dirt on the women in order to destroy them?
I think it was the company settlement and they didn’t even can him!
I concur with everything you wrote.
Spot on!
At some point, businesses will see these two as the cancer they are and not want to be associated with them.
