🚀 Revolutionizing Health Coaching: A Game-Changer with younet.ai 🚀 You may recall one of my earlier posts about "cloning" myself providing a virtual me using Younet, a service offering text-to-text GenAI based virtual assistant. I am now 24/7 "virtually" open for answering your questions about the products and services of Teradata in my current role as Area VP Sales. Here is the link again to the trial so you can test the assistant: https://younet.ai/q8L0fl Wellgo's onboarding process of new clients improved by GenAI Today I got an email from Younet, where they share how one of their clients Wellgo, a Swedish leading online digital weight loss clinic, is transforming the landscape of health and weight loss coaching with Younet AI. 🌟 The Challenge: Coaches bogged down by repetitive inquiries from potential clients. The Solution: A custom AI model developed with Younet AI, streamlining pre-sales operations and allowing coaches to focus on personalized guidance. 💡 Wellgo's journey began with recognizing the need for efficiency in the discovery process of their potential clients. By feeding their comprehensive digital library into Younet AI, they aimed to automate responses to frequently asked questions. Karolina, Wellgo's head coach, embarked on live testing with the Younet WellgoCoach AI, aiming for an AI model that could tackle common queries and let human coaches focus on deeper, more nuanced interactions. The Outcome: Early results are promising! Plans to expand testing across the coaching team are underway, highlighting the AI's potential to enhance productivity and client satisfaction without compromising the human touch. 🌱 Dr. Johan Emius, Wellgo's CEO, captures the sentiment perfectly: "Human interaction remains key, but AI is an incredibly useful tool. The future is bright and exciting!" As we look forward to 2024, this collaboration between Younet AI and Wellgo is not just about enhancing coaching efficiency; it's about shaping a future where AI and human expertise work hand in hand to deliver unparalleled coaching experiences. 🌍✨ As a certified coach myself, I am excited about the fact that we're not just witnessing the evolution of coaching – we're enhancing the productivity and coachee experience of the onboarding process with the assistance of natural language based Generative AI. #Innovation #HealthCoaching #genaitrends

🚀 Excited to share some insights on the booming AI-based coaching industry! From sleep improvement to executive coaching, AI coaches are revolutionizing how we approach personal development. With the coaching industry valued at $20 billion in 2022 and growing at an annual rate of 6.7%, many are eager to take their share of the market. AI coaches are reaching those who might not have had access to traditional coaching due to cost and accessibility, such as underserved populations and students. The sentiment is clear: "Better an AI coach than nothing." As Co-Chair of the International Coaching Federation Taskforce on Coaching & AI, Anna Gallotti had the privilege of speaking for ICF Portugal, ICF Pittsburgh, and ICF-France. Our mission is to inform coaches about market trends and establish essential guidelines. The ICF is soon releasing a comprehensive set of guidelines, and our AI & Coaching taskforce website is live! Explore research, guidelines, case studies, webinars, and articles: ICF Coaching & Tech & AI. https://lnkd.in/eKZBXzaJ Key considerations for coaches and clients: 1️⃣ Emotional Attachment: AI coaches care for us but don’t truly care about us—they’re machines. 2️⃣ Loss of Initiative: With 24/7 availability, we might become reliant on AI for decision-making and lose our ability to self-reflect. 3️⃣ Dependency: Over-reliance on AI can lead to a dependency that hampers personal growth. 4️⃣ Bias: AI can be biased based on its programming sources. 5️⃣ Stay informed and guide your clients through the opportunities and risks of AI coaching. #AICoaching #CoachingIndustry #ICF 

“Can you draw on any past experiences to help with this problem?” This question I asked my client was impactful and uncovered an important realization. Caught in the midst of a new challenge, they found themself feeling stuck. However, exploring their past experiences illuminated a crucial distinction: this time, they were in the driver's seat. In the past, there was always someone pushing them forward or dictating action. I never script questions before coaching sessions, but having a few in your back pocket, like this one, prove invaluable. Perhaps you're facing a challenge yourself. If so, consider this question. You might discover that you possess more wisdom and capability than you thought.

A study published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology found that clients who received coaching from an AI coach reported similar levels of satisfaction and outcome effectiveness compared to those who received coaching from a human coach. This suggests the potential of AI coaches to deliver outcomes that are as impactful as traditional coaching methods. This quick read blog post airs some of my views on the rise of AI coaching and its potential to revolutionize the industry by offering personalized and affordable guidance that is continually advancing. ¨ Would love to hear your thoughts, all comments welcome! #coaching #growth #ai #humandesign

AI at its best:

As much as the ‘AI will replace jobs’ headlines have become something of a trope by this point, the speed of change is nonetheless eye boggling. But of all of the human-delivered activities ripe for disruption, you might have thought that coaching would be toward the back of the AI queue - right? Well, maybe not. Recently Anu Vishwas Sarkar and I had a really interesting discussion with Gillian McCarron, Karim Hirani, and Fredrik Scheen Schuller from BTS about how AI is changing the way that coaching-based activities are being delivered today and into the future. As with most discussions centred around AI, the possibilities are pretty exciting. Some key takeaways: 🚗 Coaching is a bit like driving a car in that you can read as many books as you like that tell you how to do it, but it's only when you get ‘behind the wheel’ (so to speak) and practice that you actually get better. Well, imagine if you could experiment applying coaching frameworks and techniques anytime you like, as many times as you like, in a safe environment. And when you are finished practising, you get informed feedback from the ‘coachee’ on how you did? BTS is working to solve this problem by using AI-enabled chat to perform the role of ‘coachee’. Pretty interesting, and the potential application of this use case is not limited to coaching - think of any people skills-based activity where you are taught a framework and then asked to put it into practice - e.g. having a difficult workplace conversations, conducting a sales conversation etc. 🔎 If you have ever completed your own 360 degree feedback exercise or filled out a form on behalf of someone else doing a 360, you would know from the experience that even with the best intent, it can be difficult to derive deep and meaningful feedback. Well, imagine if you were asked to complete a 360 and instead of typing your answers into a form you engaged in a chat-based conversation where your answers were immediately assessed and you were probed for more until you provided clear behavioural indicators that support your observations. 🤖 Probably the most fundamental question around this topic is in the future will we need coaches at all? Could AI be trained to deploy the same tools and frameworks that coaches do and operate as a live, 24/7 on demand coach? BTS are also working on this, and the question is not so much can it be done technically, but what would it take for people to be comfortable to embrace it. There are some leaps of faith here - both in terms of the mindset around the types of issues humans are comfortable engaging with a chatbot about, and the comfort with engaging with Avatars / the ‘deepfake’-type humanisation of the AI. Fascinating to see how this space is - obviously - rapidly evolving, and I am looking forward to continuing our dialogue. #agilecoaching #leadershipdevelopment #coaching
