AI for coaching & leadership development firms
I help coaching and leadership development firms understand what AI can do, choose where to use it, and turn those ideas into working tools.
From the newsletter
A practical boundary for AI in coaching: use it to support preparation, follow-up, practice, and operations while keeping the coaching relationship human-led.
From the work behind the scenes to what clients experience between sessions, there are useful opportunities across a coaching business.
Explore six areas where AI could help your firm, compare ways to build, and work through a practical example.
Client story
An executive coaching firm led by a principal coach and supported by a small bench of coaches, serving CEOs and founders at private equity firms, VC firms, and high-growth startups.
The sessions were valuable. What happened afterward was much less useful. Long auto-transcripts sat unread, follow-up took manual effort, and clients had no structured way to keep working between sessions. For the firm, valuable insight kept disappearing after each call, along with an opportunity to make its approach more useful and distinctive.
We did not start by hiring engineers. We started by figuring out what was worth building.
In a 90-minute diagnostic, the principal coach walked me through the firm's workflow, from recording and reflection to recap and follow-up. We mapped where coaches were losing time and where clients were losing momentum.
Then we chose a focused pilot using live sessions from the principal coach. We tested each idea by hand, kept coach review at the center, and only automated what proved useful.
Clients now have useful support between sessions, and the principal coach has a more consistent way to help them keep moving without adding more manual follow-up. The firm also has a tested example of how its methodology can become a useful digital experience while coaches remain firmly in charge.
This is the model I now use with coaching firms: understand the workflow first, test the highest-value opportunities, then build only what earns it.
Start with a free 15-minute call. Tell me what you're exploring, and we'll see where I can help.
In a 90-minute session, we'll walk through how your firm works: what takes time, where clients need more support, and what you've already tried. You'll receive written recommendations covering the most useful opportunities, tools to consider, likely cost and complexity, and practical ways to put them into use.
That might mean buying a tool, configuring or connecting what you already use, or building something of your own. You can take it forward yourself, work through it with me, or get help with the build.
