Now we’re navigating Zoom calls, AI tools, automated systems, and more options than ever before.\nBut here’s what I keep coming back to:\nTechnology has changed how we coach.\n It has not changed why we coach.\nIn this conversation, we talk through what we’re seeing in the coaching space right now, including the shift from phone to video, how we think about scheduling and rhythms, and the growing presence of AI in coaching businesses.\nWe’re not offering a step-by-step guide or telling you what tools to use.\nWe’re inviting you into discernment.\nWe talk about:\nHow coaching platforms have evolved over time\nWhy phone coaching still holds value\nHow to use scheduling tools without losing margin\nWhat role AI can (and cannot) play in coaching\nCreating guardrails for your digital presence\nWhy coaching remains an inside-out practice\nIf you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the tools available—or unsure how to move forward with clarity—this conversation is meant to steady you.\nYou don’t need every new tool.\nYou don’t need to panic about AI.\nYou do need to stay present, grounded, and aligned with your calling.\n\nFREE RESOURCES:\nListen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast App\nTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values Assessment\nReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
