Dear Rebecca Rutschmann, Thank you very much for your thoughts and comments on digitalization in coaching and especially on ChatGPT. Even though both have undoubtedly already triggered and will continue to trigger a revolution in many areas of production, innovation and other areas of business and life, the developments in digitalized coaching in particular should not only be greeted positively and enthusiastically, but some important critical or potentially problematic aspects of this development should also be considered. I would therefore like to thank you for your invitation to respond to some of your questions in order to constructively promote the joint discourse and the resulting development of generative AI. A one-sided critical or even negative view is far from my mind, as the positive possibilities are simply undeniable. Nevertheless, I would like to emphasize several points that are closely linked: 1. On the ethics of using chatbots and generative AI in particular, attention should be paid to who is in control of the coaching process. In my opinion, an essential part of coaching is clarity about who controls the process and who makes the final decisions in a coaching process. As I see it, AI should always have a supporting and alternative-generating function, but not a decision-making function. Otherwise, not only is the spirit of coaching misguided and degenerates into machine-driven training, but people are deprived of a central component of their freedom and dignity. Unfortunately, this would also correspond to the now common, zeitgeist-driven ‘term hijacking’ (coaching as a term for ‘anything and everything’ in consulting). 2. When designing the new framework conditions for AI, we should not only think of chatbots, which are still very much unidirectional, but also of generative AI with its interactive possibilities. And here in particular, it seems essential to me to point out that digitalized coaching offers the special opportunity to transcend the purely dyadic relationship between coach and coaching partner and transform it into a triadic relationship: Namely, by inserting and discussing the results of a ChatGPT consultation directly in the dialogue between the coach and the coaching partner and elevating them to a decision on a meta-level.

'Prompt Engineering' or 'Speaking to AI like a human'?!? 𝑵𝑬𝑰𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹!  The power is in AI coaching! Think of AI as a junior employee that you need to help teach, provide context to and give feedback to. That's it! AI is artificial intelligence, right? It's intelligent, but it doesn't have the experience that 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑫𝑶! So coach it!

𝐈𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝? 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠! In the world of AI, technical jargon can create a perception that AI needs to be complicated. For example, I’ve recently been seeing debate around the term "Prompt Engineering". Is this term too technical? Is it a real skill? Or, is engaging with AI as straightforward as conversing with a human? 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃: 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞. In the end, our interactions with AI might reflect more about us than the AI itself. Sure, structured prompts can yield consistent results, but I've also witnessed the magic of casual, human-like exchanges with AI. 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓? When using GenAI, it's not merely about issuing commands…it's about constant feedback and evolving alongside AI. Envision AI as a vibrant, eager junior employee, beaming with potential and hungry for your guidance. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: Coaching is a developmental process where an experienced individual supports a learner in completing specific tasks through training, guidance, and feedback. Isn't this precisely what we do with AI? Leading AI to accomplish tasks for us - yes, "leading" - demands a coaching mindset. If the output isn't what you expected, provide feedback, add context, rephrase, and refine. Effective leadership and use of AI, much like in human teams, hinges on great coaching. 𝐒𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭? 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐈, 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭… 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: Visualize AI as a mentee. It compiles your directions, your feedback, and even your subtle cues. Each interaction is a chance to shape its comprehension and efficiency. Better coaching = better results. 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: We advocate for treating AI interactions with the same care, context, and empathy as we would a human colleague. It may sound odd, but this approach fosters positive AI interactions and enriched experiences. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐬: Let’s transform the concept of AI literacy. It's not just about understanding AI – it's about embracing our role as coach and taking accountability for the outcome. Over time, this mindset will deepen your understanding of 𝐡𝐨𝐰, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧, and 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 to use AI. Embark on this thrilling, human-centric journey of AI coaching with us. At Headquarters for AI, we're not just developing AI solutions, we’re coaching AI to 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒖𝒔. With the right mindset, AI becomes a natural extension of our work and creativity. #AIcoaching #HQforAI #FutureOfWork #CoachingCulture #GenAI

If anyone uses fear as a strategy to get their people to work, that person has no place leading or managing anyone.” This quote encapsulates several essential principles that resonate across different domains: 5.0 Leadership Growth: In the context of 5.0 leadership, which emphasizes holistic and empathetic leadership, this quote is brilliant because it underscores the importance of fostering a supportive environment. Leaders at this level prioritize emotional intelligence, collaboration, and empowerment. Fear-based management undermines trust, stifles creativity, and hinders growth. Leaders who rely on fear tactics fail to inspire their teams to reach their full potential. AI Training Proficiency: When it comes to AI training proficiency, ethical considerations are paramount. The quote aligns perfectly with this principle. AI systems learn from data and interactions. If fear is used as a training signal, it could lead to biased, harmful, or unethical outcomes. Ethical AI training involves positive reinforcement and fairness. H2H (Human to Human) Digital Strategy:In the realm of H2H digital strategy, building trust and positive relationships is key. Fear erodes trust and damages relationships. Whether it’s customer interactions, employee engagement, or stakeholder communication, fear-based approaches hinder effective digital strategies. Authenticity, empathy, and transparency drive successful H2H interactions. In summary, this quote brilliantly emphasizes the importance of ethical leadership, positive reinforcement, and fostering trust—essential elements for growth, proficiency, and successful digital strategies. 🌟

I am glad to share, that I have gained another certification milestone in Artificial Intelligence, from MindValley, under the astute guidance of Vishen, and their fabulous team. So will AI replace coaches in the future ? Here's what the evidence says - The question of whether AI will replace coaches involves complex considerations across technology, ethics, and human interaction. Here are some points to consider: Technical Capabilities: AI can analyze data and provide insights at a scale and speed unattainable by humans. This makes it an excellent tool for enhancing certain aspects of coaching, like performance analysis, strategy development, and even personalized training programs. Human Elements: Coaching goes beyond mere data analysis and strategy. It involves empathy, motivation, psychological support, and understanding the nuanced needs of individuals or teams. These human elements are intrinsic to coaching and are areas where AI currently lacks capability. Hybrid Approaches: Rather than a replacement, a more likely scenario is that AI will augment coaching. AI can handle data-driven tasks, allowing human coaches to focus more on the psychological and motivational aspects of their role. This hybrid approach could elevate the effectiveness of coaching across various fields, including sports, education, and personal development. Ethical and Social Considerations: The integration of AI into coaching also brings up ethical questions, such as data privacy, consent, and the potential for AI to reinforce biases if not carefully managed. There is also the social aspect of job displacement and the need for coaches to adapt and develop new skills to work alongside AI. Adaptability and Learning: AI systems are rapidly evolving, but so too are the methods and strategies used in coaching. Coaches who adapt to incorporate AI tools into their practice may find that these technologies can significantly enhance their effectiveness, rather than act as a direct replacement. In summary, while AI has the potential to significantly impact the field of coaching, it is more likely to serve as a powerful tool that complements and enhances human-led coaching rather than outright replacing it. The future of coaching may well involve a synergy between AI's analytical capabilities and the irreplaceable human touch that defines the essence of coaching. In a recent Coaching Ethics Forum with Wendy-Ann Smith, Sir Jonathan Passmore and others, we discussed this issue. Bots are being developed which can mimic empathy, and other skills better than human coaches, which is indeed scary and concerning. It is more likely that coaches who adopt and learn AI will have a greater edge over those who do not. I would be greatly interested in opinions on this. #AIMastery #AIandcoaching #

Pertinent in the management of health and safety. If leadership relies or utilises the exposure to hazard or threat in order to manager, then there is yet, another hazard in itself.

I recently read "Co-Intelligence" by Ethan Mollick, it left a profound impact on my perspective on integrating Generative AI into leadership and management practices. The book offers practical advice and strategies for leveraging AI to enhance decision-making, strategic planning, and operational efficiency. Not only did I find the content engaging, but I also appreciated the readability of the book, which led me to purchase both the Audible and digital copies. A few concepts that particularly resonated with me: 1. The Jagged Frontier: This idea helped me understand how tasks within a workflow can fall on both sides of the frontier, and how to navigate this complexity. 2. Centaur vs. Cyborg: Mollick's explanation of these two approaches to AI integration provided clarity on how to effectively collaborate with AI in various contexts. 3. Treating AI like a person: While cautioning against anthropomorphizing AI, the author pragmatically explains the benefits of leveraging AI's deep understanding of language to its fullest potential. I was also impressed by the collection of prompts on the companion website, which served as an excellent starting point for various tasks such as marketing and learning activities. These resources have inspired me to adapt and create my own prompts for specific use cases. As an executive coach focusing on the intersection of leadership and technology, I found the book's recommendations so valuable that I'm incorporating many of them into my FutureVision GenAI Executive Coaching service. The guidance on ethical AI use, task selection, and leveraging AI's strengths perfectly aligns with my goal of enhancing executive leadership through technology. In conclusion, I highly recommend "Co-Intelligence" to any professional looking to integrate AI into their workflows effectively and ethically. This book has significantly influenced my approach to AI in executive coaching, and I believe it will continue to shape my work in the future.
