AI as a Tuning Fork or as an Improv Partner?

How to use AI to develop performance via relationship?

To make music, especially as a polyphonic singer, I do need both ! 

The Tuning Fork to harmonize with instruments or other singers. If each singer starts with their own pitch, disharmony will burst.

The Improv Partner to lean into what is in the « here and now ». If the singers are not on the exact pitch, but are together in harmony, then the music will be amazing.

As a coach/mentor/supervisor, I need a Tuning Fork to connect with my client, be they individual or team-, and Improv Competencies to dance in the flow, be with what is -vs what my dearest brain assumed and anticipated, as it is perfectly designed to do-.

I use AI as a Tuning Fork to feed me with « the right pitch ».

I use AI as an Improv Partner to thrive my Improv Competencies, to be present to the unfolding relationship with my client.

anacrusis is a deck of cards designed to train you and your client to thrive your Improv Competencies.

A Reflection on AI & Professional Coaching

From the Perspective of a Coach Supervisor and a curious mind in this earth.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly present and conscious in our lives, its integration into coaching raises important questions for coaches and their clients.

These reflections aim to support deeper thinking and intentional practice in the evolving coaching landscape:

  • How can coaches develop as skilful relationship to uncertainty, and the natural aversion to risk?
  • How can coaches hold a space that honors the coachee’s ownership of their goals, supporting them in clarifying what they need to achieve those goals, from their unique perspective, including cultural context and lived experience?
  • How can coaches cultivate self-awareness around their own instinctive and emotional brain governances—those unconscious processes that shape their thoughts, feelings, and behavior—so they can remain fully present and generative for their clients in the moment?
  • How can coaches expand their use of AI, to help their clients use it effectively as a training tool, or a copywriting support, or anything else they want to achieve?
  • How can coaches support their clients to discern between AI-generated responses and human insightful and creative responses, and support them to go over the trap of mistaking illusion for truth (or, as the French saying goes, “prendre des vessies pour des lanternes”)?

Une réflexion sur l’intelligence artificielle & coaching professionnel

Provenant de la perspective d’une superviseure de Coach et d’un esprit curieux sur cette terre.

Alors que l’intelligence artificielle est de plus en plus présente et consciente dans nos vies, son intégration dans le coaching, soulève des questions importantes pour les coachs et leurs clients. 

  • Comment les Coachs peuvent-ils travailler leur relation avec l’incertitude et l’aversion naturelle au risque ? 
  • Comment les Coachs peuvent créer un espace qui soutient la responsabilité du Coaché face à ses objectifs, en l’aidant à clarifier ce dont il a besoin pour les atteindre, en s’appuyant sur son unicité, avec sa culture et ses expériences vécues. 
  • Comment les Coachs peuvent-ils cultiver leur conscience de leurs propres gouvernances émotionnelle et instinctive, ces processus inconscients qui sous-tendent leurs pensées, émotions et comportements, afin de rester complètement présents et créatifs pour leur client, dans l’instant. 
  • Comment les Coachs peuvent-ils développer leurs propres compétences d’utilisateurs d’intelligence artificielle, pour aider leurs clients à l’utiliser de façon efficace, comme un outil d’entraînement, un outil d’écriture, ou quoi que ce soit qui les aide ou quoi que ce soit qu’ils souhaitent accomplir. 
  • Comment les Coachs peuvent-ils soutenir leurs clients dans le discernement entre des réponses générées par de l’intelligence artificielle et des réponses humaines empreintes de créativité, et les soutenir pour dépasser l’écueil de « prendre des vessies pour des lanternes » 
  • Enfin, qu’est ce que ce jeune homme facétieux penserait de tout cela, et les gens de l’arrière plan ?

AI and Coaching

How interesting to read so many papers and posts about « How to become a better coach with AI »…

These coach counsellors offer many advices, techniques and services. They know how to become a better coach. They know what the client needs before the session. They analyse with Chat GPT what has been going on in the former session and design the next session.

This is highly interesting, since it offers a clear example of what is understood as « coaching » in many minds. ie. giving advices, directing client, knowing or making assumptions on what they think, believe… and guiding them out of these wrong or ineffective paths, because they know -since chat GPT has told them- what is good and what is bad for their client.

Would you say those two postures and offers are the same ?

If not, how would you name them to discern and understand fully what is inside their value proposition ?

However Chat Gpt can be a tremendous assistant in business for professional  coaches, with marketing, scheduling, invoicing, keep an eye on trends…
