Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who's Responsible? 4 Billion People Need Coaching and Tech Companies Got There First | with Lewin Keller
Q: What do you see as being currently the pink elephant in the room when you look at our industry that nobody wants to talk about?
The core issue is responsibility, including liability and the broader impact of AI coaches; without addressing who is responsible for outcomes and risks, confusion and unsafe usage can arise as tools scale.
Why Optimism Is the Most Important Skill for Coaches Right Now | with Dr. Woody Woodward
Q: What are enterprise buyers asking about AI integration in coaching today?
They want to know what AI tools can realistically do for coaching and how to prepare employees to be AI-ready, while ensuring the human coaching relationship remains central; data shows a blend of AI and human coaching is becoming the norm.
The Uncomfortable Truth from a Researcher: AI Has Raised the Bar for Coaching | with Prof. Dr. Nicky Terblanche
Q: Where do you see the next frontier in AI and coaching?
The next frontier lies in hybrid intelligence, where AI supports and augments human coaches rather than replacing them; the focus should be on designing AI that complements human coaching, with ongoing research into when and how AI adds value.
The Uncomfortable Truth from a Researcher: AI Has Raised the Bar for Coaching | with Prof. Dr. Nicky Terblanche
Q: What has shifted in the last six months from your research findings?
Two major studies showed that AI can perform more advanced coaching in some contexts than expected, including a CBT-style chatbot, which shifted assumptions about what AI can do in coaching and highlighted the need to adapt coaching approaches for AI.
The Uncomfortable Truth from a Researcher: AI Has Raised the Bar for Coaching | with Prof. Dr. Nicky Terblanche
Q: What would you want our listeners to know, for those that haven't maybe heard of you yet?
The field rests on solid foundations in coaching theory and psychology, and AI coaching must be built on that empirical base; this is possible and ongoing, but we still have a long way to go before AI coaching is as well-established as human coaching.
