What is The Big Leap?

The Big Leap is about two main things; one, Your Upper Limits. How much we can accomplish or achieve? How much love and abundance we can receive? And two, Discovering Your Zone of Genius. The difference between stagnation and success lies in the decisions you make in the moments that matter. This podcast is about those turning points -- the single decisions in life and business that change everything because the difference between stagnation and success lies in the decisions you make in the moments that matter. Gay and Mike will talk about business, relationships, limiting beliefs, and creating freedom and from time to time, you’ll also meet some of their favorite thinkers, thought leaders and celebrities and hear about their Big Leaps.

Gay Hendricks
First of all, I want to issue high compliments to Chet GPT. For, for coming up with that list so far, because it's to my experience dead on accurate. A lot of us who are drawn to coaching and healing have that urge to connect with other people in an intimate way. But that's not the skill set that makes for the ability to go out into the outside world and promote yourself. And this gives you such a huge tool that you can use to represent who you are and what you do inside. In a way that's plug and play.

Mike Koenigs
I don't know about you, I don't know how many first second third drafts you write of your books, but you got to get past the first hump.

Gay Hendricks
Yeah, I'll give you a hint. It's way more than three. Totally. Wow, what a mind expanding session we've got for you. The big thing for me was learning how to make AI. Not scary, and not fuzzy amorphous to find out what we practically can do with it as coaches and therapists and healers. And it's a genius partnership, if you can figure out how to use it. And we show you how, in this episode.

Mike Koenigs
Yeah, so this episode is all about AI for coaches and coaching. And what we started out with it was a 100% improvisational experience, we're gay asked a few questions, which allowed us to build the foundational principles of how you'd want to run your own coaching organization, what the biggest challenges are that most coaches have, how to overcome them, but more importantly, how to write outside copy how to write blog posts, how to create images, and grow your practice, grow your visibility, grow your expert status, with very little work, this is something that literally can save you 10 hours a time and compress it into 15 minutes, I believe you're going to be able to impact more people make more money, and have a lot more fun spending time in your superpower. So hope you love this episode, watching it consuming it, as we did making it.

Mike Koenigs
Welcome to this episode of The Big Leap, and we're going to talk about the big leap AI for coaches. And the basic idea is gain is going to drive this and I am going to ask the Oracle, the chat GPT gods and also pick some tools for how you can be a better coach using AI. And also how you can use it to be a tool as a coach to help you be not only a better coach, but a more effective, more efficient one and probably add your capabilities way beyond what you're used to. So maybe you could set up a scenario gay of how you would like this to go. And we are improvising this whole thing, by the way. So we're purposely I'm starting out with very little agenda other than we know, our goal is increase the capabilities be a more profitable productive coach.

Gay Hendricks
Yeah, I think we ought to think of AI talking to AI, like you might talk to a stadium full of 50,000 people. And then there was some machine that kind of extracted the essence of the whole thing for you. Yeah. And so what I was thinking is, I personally don't know exactly how chat GPT worked. I tried it a couple of times, and did some fun things with it. And then I completely forgot about it. Now I'm coming back to it again. And so this is my reintroduction to it. So let's just start out with some basics, and a basic being, what is it that coaches really need to know, in order to thrive in their life and their profession?

Mike Koenigs
Okay, great and we can, I'm waiting for Chechi Beatty to fire up and behave itself right now. So I'm waiting for it to come up. And I'm actually going to share my screen. So for anyone watching this, I'm going to share my screen. And for anyone who is listening to this, I'll narrate what's going on. And I'll begin by telling you how I do all of my sessions because some of the big takeaways are there are some tools you can use in Chet GPT that can make you a better coach. So I'll talk about how to process information and also how to summarize your notes. So you can do follow up emails really quickly from a session that you might do with someone. And I'll begin with a couple of the tools that I always use. So I'll flip To the screen here, if you're watching this, and you'll be able to see this is what check GPT the interface looks like. And typically, I think what's important is make sure that you're paying for Chet GPT. Plus, that as of right now is around $20 a month. And you'll default and pick on, pick Chechi BD for and pick default, which gives you the capability of asking good questions versus the older version, which this one has more natural English, like, a follow up. And the second thing that I always do, and I would open up, is, I always run otter.ai, which is a real time voice transcription program. And I like to ask whoever I'm coaching, Hey, is it okay with you, if I transcribe this call with you, because I'll give you the transcription. And then we'll use the tool to follow up with you to give you everything that we agreed on.

Mike Koenigs
And then, you know, what I would suggest is, you know, like, you know, we can, and I like to talk, whatever I'm going to create. So if we're going to start with a good question, and you had one, but I'm going to show people how I do this in real time. So go ahead and ask me, What are the core questions that you'd like to ask Chet GPT, and they'll show you how to create a prompt, how to do something called stacking prompts, and get the results we want. Take it away gay, what's the number one thing you want to learn?

Gay Hendricks
Okay, I want to learn what is the most essential thing that coaches need to know and do in order to thrive in their personal life and their professional life with clients? Okay,

Mike Koenigs
so I'm going to grab that copy, okay, so I just copy it. Again, the you're always rewarded for being lazy, and paste it here. And sometimes it's not perfect. So I'll say what is the most essential thing that coaches need to know in order to thrive in their personal life and the professionals life with clients? Okay, so I'm going to push the Enter button, and it will immediately come up with a prompt now. So the responses that gives us a successful coaching, whether in a personal or professional context requires combination of key skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Here's some of the most essential elements for thriving both personally and professionally. So it has continuous learning and development, emotional intelligence, clear communication, setting boundaries, ethics and integrity, patience and perseverance, results oriented empathy, adaptability and self care. So what we could do right now is, we could literally tell this thing to start writing a book, based upon these 1010 things. But is there one of these in particular you'd like to go deeper on? Yes,

Gay Hendricks
I would. Because as I was scanning this list, I was looking at it through the lens. Well, first of all, when I was at the University of Colorado for 21 years in the counseling psychology department, I trained about 1200, Masters level therapists, some of whom went on for their PhDs. And then after I went on my own, after we got the great good fortune of being on Oprah a couple of times, and selling a lot of books, I decided to retire from being a university professor, and I went on my own. And I would say, over the past 25 years, we've probably graduated a couple of 1000 different people through our coaches training program. So looking at it through that lens. When I saw that list, my first thought was, which of these causes the most trouble for the coach, if they don't know how to do it. And so, a couple that just jumped out at me back up a little bit there. In case people are just listening to this rather than watching. The first one is continuous learning and development. The second one is emotional intelligence. The third one is clear communication. The fourth one setting boundaries, setting boundaries jumped out at me, along with ethics and integrity, are a cause of two problems with boundaries. One problem is that people don't know how to maintain healthy boundaries. And so they end up going out for lunch with their clients and sleeping with their clients and getting into business deals, but their clients and believe me at this stage of the game, I've seen every version of the things that can come from people doing things with their clients that probably they wouldn't if they had a little bit better boundaries between them. But the boundary blurs are not caused, usually by anything pathological. It's just that the person doesn't have any experience with how to set those kinds of boundaries. And I think generally speaking, our educational institutions, the ones that I've seen, anyway, don't do a particularly good job of handling those very practical aspects of things. That's one thing I was proud of the program we did at University of Colorado when I was there, because we did have the practical as well as the theoretical. Another thing is in the area, the first one that has to do with continuous learning and also emotional intelligence. A lot of people, if you think about it, go to your get into their profession, where they're in their 20s, or 30s. And a lot of people don't even develop a deep sense of emotional intelligence, really, until well into their 40s and 50s. I remember one time talking to a very famous therapist, Dr. Alexander Lowen, one of the founders of bioenergetics. And he says, It drove us young people crazy. He said, Oh, don't even think about being a great therapist until you're 50 years old. By the time I was about 35, you know, as well as the other people in the room, you know, we're gonna say no, no. And, you know, he was so right about that, in a way, because you can only take a person as far as you've gone yourself, you know, like, if you haven't, let love into your own life and transform your life, how can you help somebody else love themselves. And so a lot of times that I know, I got my master's degree, when I was only something like 24 years old, I got my doctorate when I was 28, you know, and I was, yeah, still in the middle of my 20s, or having to do with a lot of things that weren't very emotionally intelligent about me. And I didn't even learn them until later in my 30s and 40s. That's the reason. When you work with people, you've got to maintain that humble attitude of we're all in this together. We're learning here, we're in the learning paradigm together, rather than I'm it and you're not our I know it and you don't ever works that way. And that leads me to another thought to the if you look at the statistics for mental health practitioners, for example, it's probably true of life coaches to they're usually in and out of the profession in under five years. They're doing something else five years later, because they've either burned out, gotten gone broke, doing it, yeah, or, you know, haven't managed to translate what they know inside out to the public. So the public gets to know who they are, they're trapped behind, you know, a fear of outshining or one of the other early childhood issues that I talked about in the big leap that are in the way of their full expression. So, first of all, I want to issue high compliments to tat GPT. For for coming up with that list so far, because it's to my experience dead on accurate.

Mike Koenigs
Okay, well, I'm going to make a few comments here. Before we dive in a little bit further. And I'm going to show you a couple really cool tricks, which I adhere to whenever I'm coaching and doing business with Chet gbta. Because what happened here is you came up with a prompt. And as an experienced coach, you got it reflected back some of the most important ones, arguably probably in some of the best orders. And we're going to ask it to go deep on some of these, and I'm going to show you how to stack a prompt next. But I'm also going to show you as a resource, how we can go further and have it actually create an SOP, a standard operating procedure that our assistants can follow. We can have it right outbound emails that have some of the stuff in there and do the correspondence for us the kind of thing that most coaches don't want to do, but also being able to summarize our notes after the fact to get even better results. So I always say that one of the things that this is is the ultimate capability amplifier increases our capabilities dramatically and helps us with things that we're not good at or don't want to be good at. And I really think that that's Super, super valuable important thing. And there's also picking the right tool for the job. So check GPT is really good at a lot of things, there's some things it's not good at. And they're specialized tools to be even better. So the first thing I'm going to do is

Mike Koenigs
start out. And I'm going to just go with your first inclination, which was the setting boundaries. So I'm going to, again, use the combination of tools to create a new prompt. And the prompt, which I'm going to talk into otter right now is I'm going to say, I want you to create a detailed list of the top 10 boundaries that must be established both as a personal and professional coach with a description of each one that would be appropriate to share with a professional team, my executive assistant and the clients. And then I want you to draft an outbound email that I can share with my client about the top 10 professional boundaries that we are going to adhere to as professionals and to my clients. I want that email to be written from Gay Hendricks who is the author of The Big Leap and write it in his voice in a professional but engaging emotional and entertaining tone. Okay, so that is the blurb.

Mike Koenigs
Okay, that's a lot that is a stack, and it's built on top of the original foundation of what we got. Okay, so now it's going to produce, be happy to help here are the top 10 boundaries so confidentiality, time management, professionalism, responsibility, non judgement, objectivity, commitment, scope of practice, respect, self care. Okay, and now we're going to craft an outbound so a leap forward our top 10 professional boundaries dear clients, I hope this message finds you right to discovers an eager for growth. As we embark on this exciting journey together, I want to establish the ground rules, not as constraints but as stepping stones to pave her path to success. We're in this together. And these boundaries are meant to foster a secure, respectful and productive environment. Now, I don't know about you, but that actually sounds pretty close to your tone. Yeah, right. Okay. It is, yeah, it's read everything you've ever published online at this point and built it into the large language model, just you know. So here we go. Your trust is precious. And I assure you what we share in our session stays in our sessions that is very gay, Hendricks like time management. Our time together is sacred. Let's honor it by starting and ending our sessions on time and notifying each other in advance of rescheduling as needed. Okay, professionalism, will navigate this journey with integrity and professionalism, keeping your conversations focused on your growth. Responsibility. You're the master of your destiny. I'm here as your compass. While I'm here to guide the actions are ultimately yours. It's very much like your voice. Yep. Right. So we go on with these. And that would be it. Look at this wishing you abundance and joy that is 100% The way you would and no phone email. No, I'm going to I'm going to show you two things. No, I'm going to say one more. I want you to write an outbound message to my professional executive assistant notifying her that this is an email that we want to send to all new clients along with the list of our top 10 boundaries once someone has engaged with us and has scheduled their first appointment so I select that right copy pop it in here and right now Chechi PT is smart enough to... There we go. So action needed dispatch welcome email the new clients dear assistance team. I trust this message finds you well. I've crafted a welcome email for new clients to introduce them to our coaching approach. Establish your top 10 professional boundaries. This email will set the tone for a professional relationship and manage expectations from the get go. That it added Ah, there it is. The attached document also includes detailed description of our top 10 boundaries. It's for internal use only and can serve as a useful resource for any queries you might get from our clients or team.

Gay Hendricks
Okay. Pretty well done. Pretty well done. And you can do the same thing. Let's say if you wanted to send out some aspect of this as a weekly newsletter, you could

Mike Koenigs
totally So let's let's do that. Let's create. I'm going to just go to the this right now. And I'm going to create a new prompt a new stack. And it will be, I want you to write a blog post, about setting boundaries that includes the top 10 boundaries you had previously written. In the voice of Gay Hendricks as an entertaining, engaging and visceral blog post that begins with a funny joke about boundaries and emotional intelligence. Make sure you end with a list of the top three next steps someone should take to pursue their growth as a professional coach. Okay so let me grab that copy. Um Now, this is one thing I hate sometimes, it will not copy everything properly when I grab it. So let's see if we can get this to work. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to edit it a little bit. Boop. All right, one more time. There we go. Right...previously, in the voice, sometimes it doesn't do it, engaging this reblog plus that begins the funny joke about boundaries and emotional touch. Make sure you end with a list top three next step says seek to pursue as the growth as professional coach. Great. So let's just see. How long is your blog posts? Usually? How many words? 1000 words 800 word?

Gay Hendricks
No, I would say it's even less because it has some pictures. So maybe five to 600 words.

Mike Koenigs
Okay, I'll just do a 600 word. Okay. Now. That's, that's pretty cool. So it's gonna it's going to write your blog post for you. boundary lines, a humorous take on serious growth in the world of coaching. It's often said that without boundaries, there are no limits. On one such occasion a client asked me gay. How do I know if I'm crossing someone's boundaries? I looked at him with a twinkle in my eye and replied, Well, it feels sudden SAP like a cartoon character touching an electric fence. That's not bad.

Mike Koenigs
If it's not great, let's make it better. Okay. Okay. Better joke. Yeah. Okay, so here we go. There's the top 10 boundaries, and then the the next steps, but let's say that's okay. But I want you to open with a funnier joke, but this time write it in the voice of Ryan Reynolds, but don't mention his name. Okay. Let's see what the Ryan Reynolds joke comes up with. Okay, if I were

Mike Koenigs
to compare boundaries to a movie genre, they'd certainly be a mystery thriller, kind of like trying to solve why a vegan friend gets mad at you when you mistake their tofu for a sponge. It's all about understanding the nuances folks.

Mike Koenigs
Sorry, but the whole thing is, if you don't get what you want, you tell it what to change. And this time, he kind of wrote it in somatically around movies. Yeah. Right. So now I'm going to show you something else. That's that's pretty exciting. And that would be let's say, for example, you wanted to create a photo that would go along with this. Okay, so I'm going to introduce you to another tool, and it is called mid journey. And it's going to create a picture for us. So now, I'm going to create a prompt that will say now, I want you to create an image prompt that I can pass to mid journey that will be representative of emotional boundaries for professional coaches. So I'm going to grab that and now note that this means I don't necessarily even need to know how to I'm prompt and use this tool called mid journey, which I'll show you in just one second. All right.

Mike Koenigs
Okay, so there we go. So now it's coming up with visual elements symbolism color palette, text, setting, emotional tone. All right. So I'm going to just grab this and say emotional Jim boundaries. All right, now I'm going to go to this other tool. And this is a program called mid journey. And I happen to like this. And basically, what you do to create an image is you put in the slash, imagine, which is just like an instruction, I paste in the prompt that this thing made for me, hit return. And what it's doing right now is, it's going to start drawing the picture. Now, I use this all the time to create like, diagrams and imagery, and know that all this is original. So I was doing packaging products. This is one for someone a leadership photo of someone looking into the horizon. And I do faces as my son was doing Joe Biden covered in tattoos for something he was working on. But what it starts doing is drafting this. And here you can see, it's actually making a picture of two people seated. And it's about 78% of the way drawing it but again, this is 100%. original, unique art. And I'm going to zoom in on this a little bit and you can pick which one of these you like the most I'm going to have it do a detailed version. So you know, one's a coach, image sports person. Here's one, two people, here's a white guy and a black guy. They're holding hands. Here's another one where they're sitting by they're sitting in a professional chair. Do you like any of these at all? No, no. Okay, so now, I might say, so that again, we can start again.

Gay Hendricks
Habit without them holding hands. Yeah, it's a coaching situation.

Mike Koenigs
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. So I'm going to do something completely different with our own prompt and I'm gonna just say imagine, I'm a professional business coach, sitting alongside a shy do. Female business coach. Okay. Alongside a professional UPS business woman and any kind of an environment

Gay Hendricks
Yeah, a an office, a skyscraper office with a outside the window, the I call it the skyline of New York City. Okay.

Mike Koenigs
Okay, let's see what that looks like. Oh, for some reason it cut this off a little box didn't work for some reason. I'm gonna try that again. professional business coach sitting alongside professional woman in a sky scraper with a scratch view. Yeah. Yeah. Office. Okay, office. View

Mike Koenigs
york city skyline. Outside, okay. Let's see if that gives us something better. Okay, in the meantime, we did get a professional coach. But it didn't. We didn't have anything else in there. And again, that was a mistake. Sometimes the best images you create are actually mistakes. But these people that you see are not real. Yeah. Yeah. And soon we'll see them. And mid journey always creates four pictures to start with. And then you can tell it to create variations after it builds them or you can upsample them so they're super high resolution, and then we can paste it into our newsletter or document later. Okay, so ... I'm getting a sense that the Bottom, lower third one is probably the best. And as soon as he gets to 100%, I'm gonna give it an instruction on upsampling and giving us a high quality version of that. Okay, so here it is. And that one looks pretty darn good, don't you think? Yeah. Okay, so what I'll do then, and actually, number two isn't too bad, either, you know, they're clearly engaged, to engage, but so I'm going to upsample version two and number three, and then I'll create high quality versions, okay. So this one, I kind of like better. And then, if I click on this, and I can open it in a browser, you'll see, I'm going to share this with you. So you can see the final. And now we have a very high quality picture, that we can copy the image and paste it into an outbound newsletter, okay. And I can just paste that like this, along with our, our, our, you know, the, the original blog article, which I can just do a copy, boop, like that. Paste it in here. And then once you get used to this, you know, you literally can produce an enormous amount of content, and emails in a matter of minutes. And then you get just better and better at this all the time. And then the other thing we can do is create a copy of this, of this prompt. Alright, so I copy this link. And now I could share this with my executive, my EAA and say, next one, I want you to write the next one. Okay, so I'll just say, here's the prompt that created all of this....okay. And I'll just create a link to it. And now, anytime we click on that link, it would in fact, open up in a, a window, right inside their version of Chet GPT. And they can continue building on top of all of this knowledge that we've already built. Wow, okay. That's really cool. Yeah.

Mike Koenigs
So any questions so far? Before I maybe give you one other big takeaway? And I know we are, we're gonna wrap this up. But what shows up for you when you see this? And how much more productive Do you think it would have made you as an early practitioner and some of your students that you've been working with?

Gay Hendricks
Well, it would have made everybody's life a lot better, because one of the universal problems that people have in our field is that a lot of us who are drawn to coaching and healing and being doctors and helpers of various kind, is that we have that urge to connect with other people in an intimate way. But that's not the skill set that makes for the ability to produce newsletters, and go out into the outside world and promote yourself. And so a lot of people that quit the field after four or five years just can't make a good living. And yes, and because they haven't learned to interface with the outside world. And this gives you such a huge tool that you can use to represent who you are and what you do inside out to the outside world in a way that's very uncomplicated and not mysterious. It's just plug and play.

Mike Koenigs
Yes. Yep, that's 100% accurate. So I'm going to show you something that to me, is would be in this comes from practical example. Because when we're working with people, when we're doing our coaching our superpower accelerator sessions, lasts three full days. And we capture and transcribe everything. And we have to write pretty complex follow ups. And it's not unusual for our master document where we're doing everything can be 120 pages long. And I might draw out the beginnings of a full book with someone. In fact, we're at the point where we could probably not only create a brand and a product, but we could even write the majority of a full book, based upon just simple dialogue like what we're doing right now. And now we're experimenting with a voice synthesis technology, what that would allow us to do a audio book version of a book with that person's voice in a day and you know how painful Let is to write a book or I mean, audio narrated buckets, hell, and it sounds really good. We're just right now we're, we're automating it like yesterday, my son was working with a friend of his who worked for Amazon right now. And we're building out a whole platform for doing that. So I'm sharing this with you, because the follow up is the pain, right? And let's say you've been coaching, someone may say, I want you to summarize all of the notes from this, and write a follow up email with a summary of all of the action steps to be taken. And a summary of each of the major topics we discussed. And any links to books, resources, or videos that were mesh mentioned in this session. Okay, so that is a prompt, and then we can feed our entire transcript into the tool. So I'll show you that as our kind of our closing piece here before we wrap up, but I would, this right now is a podcast transcript that you and I did some time ago, about actually, it was using AI, and it's 17 pages in length, okay. And I can click on export. So I can say, hey, I want this whole thing. And I can show speaker names, remove branding, combined paragraphs, so this is one of the key key capabilities, but if I exported it right now, and I fed this into Chet GPT, with the command, I can almost guarantee you that I'll say, um, so I'll put this whole thing in here. Okay, so some team pages a copy, along with the command that would say, you know, I want you to summarize this transcript and turn it into a follow up email that covers all of the points that we discussed, and write an outbound follow up email from Mike Koenigs to Gay Hendricks, instructing him on what we agreed on doing and what needs to happen next. So that would be a prompt. Now, I'll show you the problem, when I paste this in. Here's what it's going to do, it's going to tell me that it's too long. And give me an error. So I'm going to use a different tool called clod that will summarize this for us. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to export this as a text file. And I'm going to just put it under the big leap. And I'm going to do AI for coaches, which is our the name of this episode, and I'll go to Claude, and I'm going to attach our this text file along with the prompt, which I'll go back to what I wrote earlier, because I don't want to retype it. So here's the prompt. Claude is like Chet GPT, but it uses a slightly different model. I'll hit enter. And it's not always perfect. So it might not nail it. But if it does, what it should do, there we go, dear gay culture are, you know, right? This is our one about rusting out leading edge surfing the leading edge co authoring a book. So here are all the points that you and I discussed. Musicians singing the same songs, your new book, daily workbook, concert. Okay, so that was a little summary. But you can see how we could take enormously long things. And this, by the way, is how I'm writing just about everything. Now I meet with people and we have these long meetings. And you know, going through that and digging through it and trying to figure out what we talked about. It's a lot of work. And like you and I could sit down for a half a day and completely write a full book. Just by playing back and forth and come up with some ideas. We could name it we could come up with and create a book cover design. And, you know, it's like now you're not limited by time, money, resources, capabilities. Sir tools because this is your first draft partner, and it doesn't have to be perfect the first time you go home, I don't know about you, I don't know how many first second third drafts you write of your books, but you got to get past the first hump. Yeah,

Gay Hendricks
I'll give you a hint. It's way more than three. Totally. I've actually, what, uh, one thing that I distinctly remember is I wrote the first paragraph of conscious loving, probably 100 150 times, ah, and until I got it just the way I wanted. And I also came across a while back notebooks that Leonard Cohen had kept a song that I like, of his, that he spent 150 hours just writing the lyrics to? Oh, yeah, unbelievable. And so with using chat, GPT, as a partner, that, you know, it really takes the lid off the possible creative inventions that you could come up with? Well, I'm very excited about this, because I'm actually, in a way, a very lazy person in a way, like, I hate to do the same thing over and over again, that's just my two kryptonite. And so anytime I can get something to do a task for me, that's that solid goal. So I really hope everybody puts a serious study on how to put AI to work for you. Otherwise, it can be kind of amorphous or scary. And it really doesn't need to be either one of those. It just boils down to what EE Cummings wrote in one of his poems, it says something like, it's always the beautiful question that gets the beautiful answer. As you know, as you refine your ability as you make your crops, more beautiful outcomes and more beautiful product.

That is 100%. True, I couldn't agree with you more. And maybe what we can do, just to finish this off is in the show notes, I'm going to include links to the tools and links to the prompt that I used with gay, so you can actually click on that, and use it yourself and see exactly how he did it. And then I'll make sure that I've got a link to the picture that we created inside here as well, which I have. So you can see the image that we created as well. So this is the picture. And then I'll also include a link to the mid journey prompt that made it so that you can literally copy paste it into mid journey and see a picture like that. And there's lots and lots of other tools. I'm going to give you a free gift, which is my AI for executives mini course that I made on how you can start using these tools now. And if you want to go down the rabbit hole you can you can learn this, this is a totally learnable skill set.

Gay Hendricks
And so with that any other last words gay before we wrap up with this episode, make your life easy, make your life more fun. Put AI to work for you as your partner.

Mike Koenigs
Right on. Okay, so with that, thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. The links are in the show notes. And if you're watching this on YouTube, there is a link in the description copy to all the goodies as well. Make sure if you know someone who could benefit from this, send them a link to this episode. Anyone who's a coach or wants to be a coach. It's a great way to get going. And double, triple quadruple your capabilities with very, very little effort and work it will make you a better question asker and a better coach at the same time. So that's it. Thanks a lot.

Gay Hendricks
Thanks for being with us.
