But what does AI in coaching <em>actually<\/em> mean? Is it a friend or a foe?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early 2000s, coaches began using the Internet to chat with their clients. Then in 2012, an app called Noom kicked open the doors to digital health coaching.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From then on, online coaching soared like a rocket, even more so during the pandemic. In the post-2021 period, 43% of coaches have said they expect to undertake <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.henley.ac.uk\/v3\/fileUploads\/Future-Trends-in-Coaching.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">80% or more of their coaching online<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But wait, there\u2019s more: Welcome to the world of artificial intelligence (AI), the coaching sidekick.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI first dipped its toes in coaching in 2015 when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datanami.com\/2015\/07\/09\/ibm-watson-learns-deeply-so-you-dont-have-to\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBM Watson<\/a> started analyzing personalities. It\u2019s like a super-smart detective who can quickly sift through tons of information to understand what makes clients tick.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/ai-in-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI in education<\/a>, including coaching, is zooming ahead like a race car. It was valued at $2.90 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/blog\/ai-education-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">43.8% through 2023 to 2029<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With such awesome technology, coaches can do all sorts of cool things, like using chatbots that talk to clients in a flash or creating tailor-made plans with algorithms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So whether you&#8217;re stepping into the coaching world or seeking to enhance your professional practice, prepare for an exhilarating ride into the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-will-artificial-intelligence-replace-coaches\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will artificial intelligence replace coaches?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI can support coaches in many ways; however, it can\u2019t replace them fully.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine a world where robots are your teachers, pals, and coaches\u2014sounds like a sci-fi movie, right?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, some people think it could become real! They\u2019re buzzing about whether AI, like a brainy robot, can replace human coaches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s like a roller coaster of feelings; some folks are thrilled while others feel like a cat on a hot tin roof.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let\u2019s break it down with some interesting statistics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/us-en\/insights\/artificial-intelligence\/ai-investments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A report from Accenture<\/a> says that 76% of C-suite executives think AI is like the secret sauce for businesses to rock.

Here are some ways you can incorporate it into your workflow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-1-enhanced-data-analytics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Enhanced data analytics<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI has a remarkable ability to analyze data like a detective on a mission.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take IBM\u2019s Watson, for instance. It can dissect data to reveal deep insights into personality. And executive coaches can use it like a magnifying glass to better understand their clients and craft a custom coaching plan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even research has shown how incredible data can be. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3330484\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study by the American Psychological Association<\/a> showed that using data in psychotherapy made the therapy three times more effective.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when coaches have data insights in their quivers, their arrows hit the bullseye.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-2-personalized-learning-plans\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Personalized learning plans<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One size doesn\u2019t fit all, especially in coaching, but with the right technology, you can customize your coaching programs to suit the client\u2019s individual needs and aspirations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s do wellness coaching. An app like TrueCoach can design workout plans just like a personal trainer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/strengths-based-coaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coaching your client<\/a> on new skills, language apps like Duolingo will recognize how they learn and adjust accordingly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rand.org\/pubs\/research_reports\/RR1365.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research<\/a> says that customizing learning journeys this way can help people absorb knowledge more effectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-3-time-saving-and-efficiency\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Time-saving and efficiency<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paperwork and scheduling can be like pesky mosquitoes for coaches. However, with AI, it can be like a magical breeze that keeps those annoyances away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tools such as x.ai and Calendly are like virtual assistants that handle scheduling. And companies like Paperbell take care of contracts and payments so that coaches can focus on their clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s Evernote for note and resource organizing, Fathom for automatic note-taking during Zoom coaching calls, and the list goes on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-4-augmented-coaching-techniques\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Augmented coaching techniques<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI is whipping up some cool gadgets and techniques for coaches. Have you ever heard of natural language processing (NLP)? It&#8217;s a way AI can sift through text and, voila, give insights into what the client feels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s right, emerging technology can now lend a hand in understanding human emotions. Machine learning can also analyze facial expressions and body language. Picture Sherlock Holmes, but on your computer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The International Coaching Federation showcased how a company harnessed AI in coaching with a chatbot. This nifty bot helped employees set goals and track growth. Human coaches took this information and put their human wisdom to work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result? Happier and more productive employees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-coaching-with-ai-the-cons\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coaching with AI: The cons<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crunching data is great, but there are some downsides to new technologies. Here\u2019s what to be wary of when experimenting with AI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-1-loss-of-human-touch\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Loss of human touch<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Empathy and human connection are at the heart of successful coaching.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/11\/the-risks-of-using-ai-to-interpret-human-emotions#:~:text=The%20Risks%20of%20Bias%20in,certain%20ethnicities%20than%20to%20others.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research<\/a> from McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, shows that the most effective coaches form human connections with their clients, resulting in better client satisfaction and outcomes. The study highlights that the emotional quotient remains indispensable in coaching despite technological advancements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When working with clients, you should rely on your intuition and emotional intelligence to understand unspoken needs, address emotions, and build trust\u2014elements that AI currently cannot replicate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-2-privacy-and-data-security\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Privacy and data security<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI loves data. And we\u2019re talking loads of personal information to keep the gears turning. But there\u2019s always that nagging worry\u2014what if the data ends up in the wrong hands?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re not just wondering why AI ethics are the talk of the town, just remember the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idstrong.com\/sentinel\/myfitnesspal-data-breach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2018 incident<\/a> with Under Armour&#8217;s MyFitnessPal app. A massive data breach that affected about 150 million users. Quite a cautionary tale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While people are increasingly open to coaching, there is a deep-seated desire for confidentiality, especially when discussing personal challenges, fears, and emotions. There will always be a reluctance to share deeply personal information with an AI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-3-high-costs-and-accessibility\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. High costs and accessibility<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI doesn\u2019t always come cheap. For the little guys in coaching, the cost of getting custom AI tools might be a stretch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte points out that nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/insights\/focus\/cognitive-technologies\/state-of-ai-and-intelligent-automation-in-business-survey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">37% of organizations<\/a> are backing off from those hefty price tags. And if you\u2019re in a niche where high-speed tech isn\u2019t the norm, you might feel like you\u2019re stuck on the outside looking in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-navigating-ai-recommendations-for-coaches\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigating AI: Recommendations for coaches<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a certain level of expectation for coaches to keep up and be trailblazers with AI on the rise. So, let\u2019s talk about six must-dos to make this intelligent technology work like a charm in your coaching gig.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-1-educating-oneself-on-ai-basics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Educating oneself on AI basics<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get to know it like the back of your hand. Dive into webinars, hit the books, and sign up for courses to get all clued up. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/summit\/ai?utm_source=blog_inline_link&amp;utm_campaign=launch_AIS_july_2024&amp;utm_medium=end_of_article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Mindvalley\u2019s AI Summit<\/strong><\/a> is a great start.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You also don\u2019t want to miss the chance to hang out in forums, podcasts, and social media chats where folks talk about how the new tech and coaching are like two peas in a pod.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-2-select-the-right-ai-tools\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Select the right AI tools<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose tools that resonate with what you want to achieve in your coaching. IBM Watson and TensorFlow are like treasure chests of client data. Insights from these bad boys can flip the script on how you coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-3-prioritize-data-security\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Prioritize data security<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re playing with this kind of technology, data security has to be tight. Double-check that any AI tools you use play by the rules\u2014namely, GDPR. Stay on top of your data protection game and tell your clients how their information is being used.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cisco wasn&#8217;t kidding in their 2021 study when they said folks are way more worried about data privacy than before. Oh, and make sure you&#8217;ve got a Plan B for data oopsies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-4-focus-on-human-skills\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Focus on human skills<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the deal: AI\u2019s taking on the number-crunching, but that\u2019s when your human skills need to shine. We\u2019re talking empathy, hearing people, and getting a feel for what\u2019s happening inside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte dropped some knowledge, saying that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deloitte.com\/au\/en\/services\/economics\/perspectives\/soft-skills-business-success.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jobs will be all about soft skills<\/a>, making up two-thirds of gigs by 2030. And let\u2019s not forget your gut feelings and thinking outside the box.

And wait for it; AI can also analyze facial expressions and body language. Picture Sherlock Holmes, but on your computer.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">ICF showcased how a company harnessed AI in coaching with a chatbot. This nifty bot helped employees set goals and track growth. Human coaches took this info and put their human wisdom to work. The result? Happier and more productive employees.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><br><\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">Coaching with AI: The Cons<\/h2><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">A. Loss of Human Touch<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Empathy and human connection form the heart of successful coaching. While people are increasingly open, there is a deep-seated desire for confidentiality, especially when discussing personal challenges, fears, and emotions. This is where the human-to-human connection becomes invaluable.&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">There will always be a reluctance to share deeply personal information with an AI. Coaches often rely on their intuition and emotional intelligence to understand unspoken client needs, respond to their emotions, and build trust, elements that AI currently cannot fully replicate.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Research from McLean Hospital, a <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/11\/the-risks-of-using-ai-to-interpret-human-emotions#:~:text=The%20Risks%20of%20Bias%20in,certain%20ethnicities%20than%20to%20others.\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Harvard Medical School<\/a> affiliate, shows that the most effective coaches form 'human' connections with their clients, resulting in better client satisfaction and outcomes. The study highlights that the emotional quotient remains indispensable in coaching despite technological advancements.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">B. Privacy and Data Security<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s the snag - AI loves data. And we\u2019re talking loads of personal information to keep the gears turning. But there\u2019s always that nagging worry \u2013 what if the data ends up in the wrong hands?<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Just remember the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idstrong.com\/sentinel\/myfitnesspal-data-breach\/\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">2018 incident<\/a> with Under Armour's MyFitnessPal app. A massive data breach that affected about 150 million users. Quite a cautionary tale.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">C. High Costs and Accessibility<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Now, let\u2019s talk dollars. AI doesn\u2019t always come cheap. For the individual coach or the little guys in coaching, the cost of getting custom AI tools might make your wallet quiver in fear.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/insights\/focus\/cognitive-technologies\/state-of-ai-and-intelligent-automation-in-business-survey.html\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Deloitte<\/a> points out that nearly 37% of organizations are backing off, eyeballing those hefty price tags. And if you\u2019re in an area where high-speed tech isn\u2019t the norm, you might feel like you\u2019re stuck on the outside looking in.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><br><\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">Navigating AI: Recommendations For Coaches<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\">In this wild world of AI that\u2019s always shifting gears, it\u2019s vital for coaches to keep up and be trailblazers. So, let\u2019s talk about six must-dos to make AI work like a charm in your coaching gig.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">A. Educating Oneself on AI Basics<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">First things first \u2013 get to know AI like the back of your hand. Dive into webinars, hit the books, and sign up for courses to get all clued up. Coursera's got this fantastic course called \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/ai-for-everyone\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s;\" target=\"_blank\">AI for Everyone<\/a>\" that breaks down AI stuff without going all rocket science on you. And don\u2019t forget to hang out in forums, podcasts, and social media chats where folks talk about how AI and coaching are like two peas in a pod.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">B. Select the right AI tools<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">This part\u2019s huge. Choose AI tools that vibe with what you want to achieve in your coaching. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/cloud\/watson-personality-insights\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s;\" target=\"_blank\">IBM Watson<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tensorflow.org\/?gad=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw4s-kBhDqARIsAN-ipH0BLM190pu4WBYPs4Iic_sP12VXyq8hnRxbTlLW5Z-AGg2EmBT9T20aAt7fEALw_wcB\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s;\" target=\"_blank\">TensorFlow <\/a>are like treasure chests of client data. Insights from these bad boys can flip the script on how you coach. Plus, Evercoach is working toward mixing AI analytics with the human touch, helping you get what your clients are after. Take a good, hard look at what these tools offer, how trusty they are, and the backup you get.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">C. Prioritize Data Security<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">When you\u2019re playing with AI, data security\u2019s got to be tight. Double-check that any AI tools you use play by the rules - <a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr-info.eu\/\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s;\" target=\"_blank\">GDPR<\/a>. Stay on top of your data protection game and clue your clients how their info's being used. Cisco wasn't kidding in their 2021 study when they said folks are way more worried about data privacy than before. Oh, and make sure you've got a Plan B for data oopsies.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">D. Focus on Human Skills<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s the deal \u2013 AI\u2019s taking on the number-crunching, but that\u2019s when your human skills need to shine. We\u2019re talking empathy, hearing people, and getting a feel for what\u2019s happening inside. Deloitte dropped some knowledge, saying that jobs will be all about <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/au\/en\/pages\/economics\/articles\/soft-skills-business-success.html\" class=\"\" style=\"outline: none; transition: all 0s ease 0s;\" target=\"_blank\">soft skills<\/a>, making up two-thirds of gigs by 2030. And let\u2019s not forget your gut feeling and thinking outside the box. AI\u2019s got nothing on that.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\">E. Stay Updated with Industry Trends<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">AI\u2019s like a speeding train, and you\u2019ve got to stay on it. Keep an eye on the freshest AI trends in coaching. That means checking out industry mags, attending events, and joining online groups. <\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Being open to AI, curious about how it works, and keeping things above board can put you ahead of the pack.&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">But remember...<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>AI is a game-changer, but it\u2019s not the be-all and end-all.<\/strong> <\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s like adding a fancy spice to a dish - great in the right amounts, but you still need the main ingredients.&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: var(--g-regular-weight,normal); text-transform: var(--tve-text-transform, none);\">The trick for the top coaches? Finding that sweet spot where AI\u2019s brainpower complements, not overpowers, the human touch of coaching. So, keep your brain ticking, be picky about the AI stuff you bring, and stay in the loop with what\u2019s going down in the industry.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">But through it all, don\u2019t forget what makes coaching real \u2013 the human heart and connecting on a human level.<\/p><\/div>","tve_custom_css":"@media (min-width: 300px){.tcb-post-list[data-css=\"tve-u-17501b07dfb\"] .post-wrapper.thrv_wrapper { width: calc((100% - 30px) \/ 3); }.tcb-post-list[data-css=\"tve-u-17501b07dfb\"] .post-wrapper.thrv_wrapper:nth-child(n+4) { margin-top: 15px !important; }.tcb-post-list[data-css=\"tve-u-17501b07dfb\"] .post-wrapper.thrv_wrapper:not(:nth-child(n+4)) { margin-top: 0px !important; }.tcb-post-list[data-css=\"tve-u-17501b07dfb\"] .post-wrapper.thrv_wrapper:not(:nth-child(3n)) { margin-right: 15px !important; }.tcb-post-list[data-css=\"tve-u-17501b07dfb\"] .post-wrapper.thrv_wrapper:nth-child(3n) { margin-right: 0px !important; }:not(#tve) [data-css=\"tve-u-18973c73889\"] { text-transform: none !important; }}","tve_user_custom_css":"","tve_globals":{"e":"1","font_cls":[]},"tcb2_ready":1,"tcb_editor_enabled":0,"tve_landing_page":"","_tve_header":"","_tve_footer":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[864],"area-of-growth":[],"featured":[],"outcome":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-22034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coaching","tag-certified-business-coach"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v28.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Leverage AI in Coaching Without Losing That Human Touch<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Using AI in coaching doesn\u2019t have to take away your unique essence.
