🏃‍♀️ This November saw me very active: after the ICF conference in Italy, 🎙️ on November 28, I had the great honor of presenting a conference for ICF-France on a topic that is shaping the future of our profession: AI in Coaching. As Co-Chair of the Special Commission on AI & Coaching at the International Coaching Federation, this topic is particularly close to my heart. 💡 Highlights of this presentation: 1️⃣ Understanding AI: From machine learning to generative AI and language models, we explored how these technologies are revolutionizing human dialogue. 2️⃣ Applications in Coaching: The integration of AI to support coaches with planning, feedback, and even personalized coaching sessions. 3️⃣ Ethical Challenges: Transparency, data confidentiality, and balancing humanity with technology. 4️⃣ Solutions and Standards: How ICF is structuring ethical and practical frameworks for responsible AI use in coaching. 💭 A personal perspective: The question is not whether human coaches are "better" than AI coaches. Framing it that way would lead to a race for performance where machines might eventually prevail. What truly matters is trusting in our humanity: our sensitivity, our ability to feel who we are, and to connect with our emotions. This also includes our imperfections, our mistakes, and, most importantly, our resilience as human beings. That is where our real strength lies. 📊 A promising yet cautious future: While AI offers unprecedented opportunities for scalability, accessibility, and personalization, it also brings responsibilities. As coaches, we must guide this transition while staying true to our core values. 🙏 Thank you to all the participants for your thought-provoking questions and your commitment to shaping this future together. Let’s keep the conversation going! 💬 #Coaching #AI #Humanity #Innovation #Ethics #Leadership #ICF Ophélie Chevreau Barbara Loyer

It's an honour and a privilege to know good humans like Michael Emerzidis. I am so grateful to have him in my inner circle. I love the beautiful, rich Greek word philotimo. Translating directly into English is difficult, as it encompasses a wide range of positive virtues and values. At its core, philotimo refers to a sense of honour, duty, and responsibility to do what is morally right, often out of respect for others and for oneself. It involves selflessness, pride in doing good, and a deep sense of loyalty to family, community, and country. In Greek culture, philotimo is often seen as the guiding force behind acts of kindness, generosity, and integrity. It represents an internal moral compass, pushing people to act with humility, compassion, and care, not for recognition, but because it’s the right thing to do. How beautiful is that? I'll be incorporating it into my own list of core values from now on. What's one of your favourite values?

Understanding of complex topics and information, often makes up the core competence to a business and organization. Transferring it to others on the other hand is a difficult task that does not necessarily fall as natural to an expert of a topic. Anchoring complexity to a context which others can comprehend and at least start understanding, is an art in itself. The cosmic calender from the docu series Cosmos does this in a remarkable way. If you know other good examples, resources, L&D experts, theories & approaches that dives into exactly this, I am very curious to learn about it and would appreciate any input in the comments. Have a good weekend.

What is success? In my latest reel, I explore a question that many of us face at different stages of our careers: Is the key to success to be better, or to be different? It’s a question that resonates not only on a personal level but also deeply within the professional world. On LinkedIn, we often talk about growth, innovation, and achieving goals. This reel touches on the importance of understanding the motivations behind success, whether in business or life. It’s a reflection on how we define success—through constant improvement or by standing out from the crowd. I invite you to watch and share your thoughts: Is your path to success shaped by being better, or by being different? #SuccessJourney #CareerGrowth #BeDifferent #LinkedInCommunity

#GenerativeStrategy: The Dandelion Approach I am #thinking deeply about how we can build analogies and in a further step tools, that help us relate deeper to our futures. Not only for immersing in personal anticipatory activities but also to foster a more relational #strategy process in businesses. I am convinced that if we find ways to build more agent, #GenerativeStrategies, we can transform the noisy surroundings of our in-between-worlds reality into a pool of possibilities, that help us #anticipate and therefore #create new futures. The endeavour is not to dismiss everything that was and is, but to consciously leave behind what does not serve us, and take along what proves to be valuable. Nature is a pearl of immense wisdom when it comes to #adaptability and #resilience. Look at the Dandelion. A plant often dismissed as a plague, in an age, where uniformity is not only the dogma in front-yard gardening culture but also in our business environment. The Dandelion is an example of resilience, adaptability, and transformation. It grows in almost any soil, including in the cracks of the sidewalk, transforming itself to spread its seeds and grow further. Futures Work is very similar to the Dandelion. It disrupts. It seeds. It transforms itself and holds the power to transform. It can grow on any soil, helping organizations do the same. Engaging in Futures Work can have various benefits for an organisation, just like using the herbal medical properties of the Dandelion, such as helping to detoxify and strengthen the gut and the overall health. This piece explores how the resilience and adaptability of dandelions illustrate the benefits of Futures Work in business, promoting innovative strategies and embracing disruptions for growth. It is not a manifest against standardization. Standardization is a necessary tool that helps us get rid of the complicated to embrace the complex. It is a call to allow the growth of a meadow, somewhere within the perfect lawn, that has the power to inspire us and can remind us of the beauty that disruption also holds. Just Simple Thinking #futures #foresight #transformation #change #disruption #emergence #thrive
