The Situation: “I’ve been coaching for more than 10 years, and coaches in my mastermind group all use generative AI tools in their coaching businesses. I’m feeling pressure to keep up, but I don’t really get new technology (I still use a paper calendar). What is a safe way to catch up or at least get started so I can feel included?”
AI tools like ChatGPT can significantly enhance client interactions. While some clients may value the quick answers provided by ChatGPT, it’s crucial to understand that AI is not a replacement for one-on-one conversations. Instead, it serves as a tool to promptly deliver information, thereby enhancing interactions. However, it’s always advisable to verify the information, as AI is not infallible.
AI coaching, which involves role-playing and engaging with virtual individuals to simulate conversations, can offer significant benefits. It is available 24/7, which you likely do not have avail- able for your clients. It can enhance a conversation by providing multiple perspectives quickly. And frankly, it’s cool.
I got into a heated discussion on Facebook recently and could not gain perspective until I typed the issue into an AI tool, and violà! I got history and perspective and took the heat out of my responses. The person I was arguing with thanked me for a mea- sured conversation. That brought me value, and I do not doubt its value to clients at times.
Consider challenging yourself to understand AI’s value to your coaching practice rather than being overly concerned about potential industry shifts. Research AI rather than avoid it. As the world evolves, are you adopting technologies such as a website, calendar invites, video conferencing, and email correspondence, which can significantly enhance client interaction?
Engage a virtual assistant or live assistant to handle the heavy lifting of technology. Find the solution by taking the next step and investigate what is happening in AI.
Regardless of age, everyone has the option to engage with technology. Now is the time to explore AI’s potential and the instant gratification it offers. It’s important to sincerely explore the benefits of embracing AI and staying informed about its developments, as this can help you adapt and innovate your work while continuing to offer valuable one-on-one coaching.
Catch up by starting where you are, determining your goals and get educated. Your business can continue to be a profitable model if you seriously look at what’s happening on the horizon and seize the day!
