AI + The Simple Formula for Coaching Success...

Some of this email was written by AI, can you spot which bits? If your message stream is anything like mine, it’s been flooded with chatter about AI, ChatGPT, and companies rushing to embrace this wonder tech before it potentially takes over our jobs.  Whether you are an employee, a manager, a coach, entrepreneur or consultant, the changes in how we work, brought about by AI, are about upend many jobs. Of that I'm sure.  In fact, I highlighted the huge disruption coming our way back in 2018 when we launched our course Coach Right.  And the capability of AI technology (like ChatGPT) today is WIDLY better. It has cracked a major problem: how to generate engaging and human-like responses to humans' questions.  Paving the way for AI coaching conversations directly on your phone that feel much more human-to-human, and far less chatbot. The results are very exciting.  I asked ChatGPT to create a simple formula for what a coach does to create higher performance for clients.  Here’s ChatGPT’s response:  “Performance = Assessment + Goal-Setting + Strategy  Where:  Assessment = Initial evaluation of the client's current performance level and identification of areas of strength and improvement.  Goal-Setting = Specific, measurable, achievable, and time-bound (SMART) goals set in alignment with the client's overall objectives.  Strategy = Identification of potential obstacles and development of strategies to overcome them."  A solid first answer.  Thankfully, what ChatGPT doesn’t understand yet is coaching is all about the relationship between you and the person you are helping.  A coach is someone who excels at 1) helping a client see new potentials 2) identifies what the interferences are (e.g. mindset, habits, strategies etc.) and 3) blows away the interferences so the client can achieve the outcomes they want.  Those kinds of skills are highly valuable. And increasingly in demand.  Here's this idea expressed as a simple formula.  Performance = Potential - Interferences  As NLPers and coaches, we help individuals (and teams) clear out the stuff that gets in their way and then help them get really focused on the few things that truly will move the needle to create the outcomes they want.  But to do that well, requires a set of uncommon skills.  Skills not taught in practitioner or master practitioner courses or traditional coaching training. We’ll talk more soon about what those skills are and the number 1 thing that stands in the way of unlocking higher performance in a future email.  In the meantime, how ready are you to profit from the change AI is ushering in?  I'd love to know:  [What questions do you have about AI, or how to use this exciting technology to help you learn NLP or become a better coach?](  Click the link above to share your thoughts.  To your success, Tom   NLPTIMES Real NLP Skills For The Real World                                  --------------------------------------------------------------- Note: If you no longer wish to receive these emails about "The Future of Coaching and How to Elevate Your Coaching Skills To a Whole New Level", just [click here]( and you’ll be REMOVED from this email campaign.
