Confs: Panel at IPC20 - The Pragmatics of Online Influence: Persuasion and Authority in Online Coaching Discourses
From the perspective of pragmatics, coaching can be understood as a communication-based, co-constructed discourse genre in which coach and client jointly build meanings, goals, and courses of action turn by turn (see Fleischhacker & Graf 2023).

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army
