We're diving into the world of AI and Chat GPT and how these technologies are changing the landscape of coaching. And they are, and I believe, for the better, not for the worse. In this episode, we'll be demystifying AI and Chat GPT for coaches and providing a clear understanding of the basics you need to know in order to fully leverage these technologies for the benefit of your coaching business. As coaches, it's important to stay up to date with the latest technologies and tools that can help us improve our craft, better serve our clients, but above all, build a profitable and sustainable coaching business. And that's what we're going to be doing today. So get ready to learn, bust some misconceptions and discover the benefits of AI and Chat GPT in coaching. Let's dive in.

Thank you for tuning into this segment of our podcast where we'll be talking about the basics. In this segment, we'll be exploring a few fundamentals of AI and Chat GPT to ensure you're equipped with the knowledge you need to embrace these tools effectively unless you're coaching under a rock. Many of you have heard about AI and Chat GPT, but may not fully understand what they are or how they work. That's why in this segment I'm going to provide a brief overview of these technologies and how they can be used in your coaching practice. So let's start with a little history and gain a simple understanding of what AI and Chat GPT actually are. Did you know that the modern idea of AI as we know it today really began in the 1950s with the development of the first computers? Yep. And in the 1960s, the field of AI research really took off, with scientists developing techniques like rule-based systems and decision trees Things that we use in our business. At least I do.

Now fast forward to the 1980s. Machine learning became a popular technique, allowing computer programs to learn and improve on their own. Remember the movie Irobot? And in the 2000s, with the rise of big data and advances in computing, AI picked up speed. And now AI is used in a wide variety of applications, including voice assistants hello, Siri and Alexa, and self-driving cars. In fact, I just read an article about a self-driving bus in London. Wow. Yep. That's all.

AI. Technology. At its core, AI refers to computer systems that deal with the creation of intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human, “brain functioning” intelligence. Now, Chat GPT, on the other hand, is a specific application of AI that uses natural language processing NLP for short, to create conversational agents. And I love the term conversational agents that can respond to text-based inputs, which are known as prompts in a human-like way. In other words, Chat GPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot that can have conversations with people, but also create content in a humanlike way to engage with people in a natural, human-like way. Pretty wild, right? Now, let's talk about how AI and Chat GPT can be used in coach. As a coach, your time is valuable.

By leveraging the power of AI and Chat GPT, you can automate your business processes, provide personalized coaching, and grow your coaching business into a much more profitable one. These technologies can be used to automate repetitive tasks such as scheduling appointments and sending out reminders. They can also be used to analyze data and provide insights into your client's behaviors and preferences. Not only that but AI and Chat GPT can help with lead generation, which is so big for continued business growth. And lead generation is one of the top issues my clients have when they enroll to work with me. AI can help you find and attract potential clients who are looking for your coaching services. With AI, power tools and Chat GPT, you can identify and target your ideal clients based on their interests, demographics, and behaviors. Did you know that? The most important thing to remember, however, is that AI and Chat GPT are not meant to replace the human element in the development of your business or the coaching of your clients.

These technologies are simply power tools that can help you grow and manage your business more efficiently and enhance the coaching experience of your clients. At the end of the day, coaching is and will always be about human interaction and connection. And that's something that can't be replaced by any technology, whether it's AI or Chat GPT. So, now that we have a basic understanding of AI and Chat GPT, let's move on to our next segment, where we'll dispel some common misconceptions about these technologies in coaching. See you there's. Welcome back to the Crack the Coaching Code podcast. I'm your host, Chareen Goodman, and in this segment, we're going to address the top three misconceptions about AI and Chat GPT that coaches may have. Now, I understand that some of you may have some preconceived notions about these technologies, so I want to take a moment to clear the air and set the record straight.

So the first misconception I want to address is that of AI replacing coaches. I know this may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but let me assure you that this couldn't be further from the truth. As a coach, you have uniqueness, made up of insights, knowledge and experience that is personal to you. It's what you bring to your clients. While AI technology has come a long way, it will never be able to replace the personal touch and expertise that coaches offer. And you as a coach must be clear on the value you offer your clients and your ideal future clients. AI is simply a tool to assist coaches in their work. The same goes for Chat GPT.

It is simply a tool to assist coaches in their work. When implemented and used properly, it can provide helpful suggestions and insights to support your coaching practice. But again, it's important for coaches to recognize that they can't let go of the steering wheel. Coaches play a vital role in understanding their clients' unique situations, providing the emotional support and accountability that their clients need to achieve their coaching outcomes and goals, and helping their clients navigate complex challenges. That's what you get paid to do, not Chat GPT. These technologies can never and should never replace the personal touch and expertise that coaches offer. Now, on to misconception number two that AI and Chat GPT are impersonal. This one is understandable since we're talking about machines here.

I get it. But this is a misconception. In fact, Chat GPT is designed to learn from its interactions with you and your clients. It is trained by you, and it just may surprise you to know that AI technology can actually be very personal and in some cases, is much more personal than you. Go figure. As I just mentioned, Chat GPT is designed to learn from its interactions. And given the right prompts, inputs, and training, it can become that great conversational agent for you as a coach and with your clients, providing personalized responses in your unique brand voice. It can even pick up on subtleties in language and tone, allowing it to tailor its responses to the specific context of the conversation OMG all day long.

So it's not impersonal. It's actually very personal when trained, or shall I say coaches properly. Lastly, misconception number three AI is unreliable. Now, while it's true that AI technology is still advancing, chat GPT, for example, is built on a robust and reliable platform that is constantly being improved and updated. With proper implementation and use, chat GPT can be a powerful tool for coaches looking to enhance their coaching practice. It's all about learning to work with the technology and leveraging it to its full potential. This is not a set-it-and-forget-it tool. Your human involvement is required.

So, coaches, it's time to shift our mindset about these misconceptions. AI and Chat GPT are not here to replace us or take over our jobs as coaches. Instead, they can be valuable tools to enhance our coach practice and improve our client outcomes and our business overall. And with the right understanding and application of these technologies, we can use AI and Chat GPT to create a more personalized and effective coaching experience for our clients while building the coaching business of our dreams. Okay, there you have it. I hope this helps to clear up any misconceptions you may have had about AI and Chat GPT. Stay tuned for the next segment where we will talk about embracing AI and Chat GPT to enhance your coaching practice. Welcome back, amazing listeners.

You're tuned into the Crack the Coaching Code podcast with your host, me, Chareen Goodman.

As coaches, we're always looking for ways to enhance our coaching practice. And one of the most exciting technologies that can help us achieve this is AI. AI, or artificial intelligence, is transforming various industries, and coaching is no exception. Now, I know what you might be thinking. How can AI really make a difference in my coaching? Well, let me tell you, my friends, it's a game-changer. So let's explore some of the benefits of using AI in coaching.

And man oh man, there are so many. First up, let's talk about increased efficiency and productivity. And when I say a game changer, especially for the solo coach, this is what you need. Who doesn't want that, right? AI tools can be a game changer when it comes to streamlining your workflow. It's like having a personal assistant that never gets tired or needs a coffee break. AI tools can help you increase your efficiency and productivity. This leads to less burnout. These tools can automate your repetitive tasks that eat away at your precious time, allowing you to focus on what you do best, and that is coaching.

By automating repetitive tasks and streamlining your workflow, you as a coach can manage your time more effectively and focus on what really matters building a profitable business and helping your clients achieve their goals. So say goodbye to the never-ending paperwork and hello to more productivity and profitability. Now, that's just number one. But that's not all. Now, here's a real gem for you. With AI, we're talking about personalization and customization on a whole new level. It's like having a coaching genie that knows exactly what you need and delivers it on a silver platter. Ulala.

This can help coaches tailor their coaching approach to each client and provide a more effective coaching experience. So picture this AI analyzing data and providing personalized coaching recommendations based on your client's unique needs and preferences. Here's your coaching assistant who knows your client inside and out. Tailored guidance and support that resonates deeply with coaching individuals. Now, that's the recipe for coaching success. But there is a caveat here. Just remember, your knowledge, insights, unique experience, and perspective are necessary to bring the human element into your coach. Never forget that.

Now, this one here is a real game changer, using AI for improved accuracy and objectivity. I know. But let's face it, we're all human. And sometimes, God forbid, we might unknowingly let our biases and errors sneak into our coaching. Think of AI in this area like having a wise owl sitting on your shoulder. Harry Potter, anyone that offers you the most objective advice imaginable. But AI? Really? Yes, really. It's time to say goodbye to human biases and errors.

AI brings improved accuracy and objectivity to the coaching arena. As in coaching, it's all about objectivity. And this can be especially helpful when dealing with sensitive or complex issues where objectivity is key. AI can help you eliminate human biases and errors by eliminating biases and errors with the use of AI can help coaches make much more informed decisions and provide a better coaching experience for their clients. It's sort of like having that trusted sidekick who keeps us on track and helps us to keep it real when it comes to coaching. Now that's some serious coaching superpower right there. My caveat with this one is that you don't let yourself get lazy. You take the lead.

Don't let AI lead you. Now, here's the last one I want to give you today. Yes, there's one more, so brace yourselves for this one. This one, too, is a real gem. With the use of AI, you can actually enhance your personal innovation and creativity when it comes to being a coach. Yep, you heard it right.
