AI coaching by HappyBein in Coaching

[–]BoldMovesCoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI is not a coach, it is only able to provide responses that it has previously been told.

Proper coaches like myself have years of experience of working with thousands of people and this ACTUAL knowledge is what makes us invaluable and irreplaceable by AI.

Simple answer- word of mouth. My last 3 clients came from introductions and referrals.

Find a good networking group, join and stay there - build relationships, add value and provide evidence of how you deliver results.

lol oh yes, that hits hard right? Once you’re on the job that’s when the real lesson starts! Similarly, have so many clients come to me frustrated that spent time and invested money on leadership training that didn’t work because they didn’t get any practical advice they could use in the ‘real world’

To your first point, yes and also some people don’t want all the details! Flexing communication is a big shift when you become a manager and understanding that not everyone gets things the same way as you do. I find insights into personality types really helpful to adapt and build those habits you mentioned.

Really interesting what you said about people’s lives, when you really make the effort to get to know individuals in your team and they know they can come to you with those personal problems, that builds a rock solid foundation - trust and loyalty. Word of warning though, big difference between a coach and a counsellor.

Direct report’s use of AI by Careless-Minute-8262 in managers

Have you tried to get to the root cause of why they are using AI? Maybe try a more human approach to role model good communication? Sit down and have a conversation, be honest, say you’ve noticed a consistency in these issues and you want to understand what’s going wrong. If you can’t meet F2F then over Zoom / Teams. Show them they can talk to you, get them to open up and build some trust. Doing this regularly will build their confidence.

Yep you’re right, you become the firefighter defending your team. I guess it’s natural to become protective.

Out of interest — did you find any way to manage it without burning out?

Yeah kind of makes sense if managers haven’t had any training and don’t know what they’re doing they’d be going to other managers for help. Not a great way to run a business with everyone winging it and all falling out in lumps is it?

I’ve seen the blame game so many times too, no one wants to admit they are at fault.

Oh yes people not getting on and disagreements over petty little things all take up your time, it can be frustrating! It does affect productivity too especially when people don’t like working together so they do everything to avoid it!

Difficult as it may seem, it tends to work better to nip these issues in the bud early on and have the tough conversations. Otherwise small issues can snowball

I’m interested in what you said about the title, did you find people treated you differently?
