Description
AI is reshaping how coaches prepare, engage, and support growth—especially in the complex environments of group and team coaching, where multiple voices, dynamics, and outcomes are at play.
In this interactive session, we will explore how generative AI can support coaches in designing more intentional group experiences, strengthening coaching agreements, and navigating real-time dynamics with greater clarity and confidence. Participants will engage in practical demonstrations and guided use cases that show how AI can assist with session design, identify themes across participants, and support post-session reflection—without replacing the coach’s presence or judgment.
We will also explore the ethical considerations unique to group and team coaching, including confidentiality, boundaries, and appropriate use of AI in multi-client environments.
Designed for coaches at all levels of AI familiarity, this session offers practical tools, thoughtful reflection, and real-world application to help you integrate AI in ways that enhance—not replace—your coaching effectiveness.
Key Takeaways:
☑️ Apply generative AI tools to support coaching preparation, session design, and post-session reflection in group and team coaching contexts.
☑️ Strengthen alignment with ICF Core Competencies—Maintaining Presence, Listens Actively, Evokes Awareness, and Demonstrates Ethical Practice—by using generative AI to support pattern recognition, deepen listening, and expand coaching questions while maintaining coach responsibility for the coaching process.
☑️ Differentiate appropriate and ethical uses of generative AI in group versus team coaching, including considerations of confidentiality, consent, and professional boundaries.
☑️ Leverage generative AI to identify themes, patterns, and emerging dynamics across multiple participants to support awareness and inform coaching interventions.
☑️ Develop a practical approach for integrating generative AI into coaching practice to enhance client impact while maintaining efficiency and ethical standards.
