How do you win against AI Coaching?
I've been thinking a lot about AI and coaching lately. It's natural and reasonable to wonder about the future role of a coach.

Don't try to compete directly against AI. In other words, you won't beat AI coaching at it's own game.
Instead, focus on what AI can't do well and emphasize the unique value you bring as a coach.

Let's explore how you, as a coach, can cultivate these deep relationships that make your clients feel valued—and why this human touch is irreplaceable.
In the episode we cover how promoting shared experiences can give you the competitive edge.
