Hi {{first_name | default: 'there'}}, and TGIF!
While you are sipping your morning coffee, let me tell you briefly about Tom (name changed) and his AI opportunity.
Tom closes his laptop and stares at his phone.
It's been three days since he gave Jessica (name changed) feedback on her client presentation. Three days of one-word responses to his messages.
He meant to help her grow. Instead, he feels like he destroyed something.
The feedback was good, wasn't it? Constructive. Specific. He told her exactly what she needed to improve for next time.
But here's what really happened:
Tom delivered a monologue dressed up as development plan.
What We Think Feedback Is vs. What It Actually Does
What many think feedback means: Telling people what they did wrong and how to fix it.
What feedback actually is: Creating space for someone to see their own blind spots.
Tom spent 15 minutes explaining what Jessica did wrong. How her slides lacked impact. Why her opening was flat. What she should have done instead.
(All of us have been a Tom at least once, haven't we?)
He never asked what she thought went well. Never explored what challenges she faced preparing it.
The 11 PM Kitchen Breakthrough
Tom finds himself talking to an AI coach at 11 PM, replaying the conversation for the third time this week.
"Can you walk me through what you were hoping to achieve?" the AI asks.
"I wanted her to see how to improve—"
"I see that was your intent. What did you want her to feel during that conversation?"
Tom stops. "Supported, I guess. Like I believed in her."
"What do you think she actually felt?"
The silence stretches. Then it hits him.
"I gave her my perspective. I never asked for hers."
What Real Coaching Actually Does
Tom is an early user of CoachTĂĽnde.ai. And this is what happened in that kitchen conversation:
She (the AI) asked the questions that unlocked what he already knew. No judgment. No agenda. Just space to think.
She (the AI) reflected patterns he was too close to see. Sometimes you need a mirror, not advice.
She (the AI) never told him what to do. Instead, she helped him find his own way forward.
Tom's solution wasn't another feedback session. It was a completely different conversation.

The Issue in Professional Growth
I believe we have an opprortunity to grow, for all of us.
↳ That brilliant senior manager struggling with team dynamics at 9 PM? She waits until her next monthly session with her human coach.
↳ The team lead who just gave feedback that backfired? He figures it out alone, hoping he didn't permanently damage the relationship.
Coaching is a powerful tool and it's not always available for everyone in need.
With all that's going on in the work world, it isn't sustainable.
And it's not fair.
The Magic is in the Combination
AI coaching isn't about replacing human coaches. It's about making quality coaching frameworks accessible exactly when you need them.
Think of it this way:
- AI coaching is non-stop available → for those stuck-at-11-PM moments or waiting for human coaching sessions to start
- Human coaching brings deeper insights → for complex development over time
- Together, they handle the full spectrum → from immediate clarity to long-term growth
The Uncomfortable Truth About Trust
"I don't trust AI coaching."
Fair. But here's what Tom learned:
Good coaching isn't about being right or wrong. It's about asking better questions that help you find your own answers.
The same frameworks that executive coaches use.
The same core competencies.
Just available when those crucial moments actually happen.
Not in 3 weeks on Tuesday's 2 PM slot (if you get lucky).
But in your kitchen when everything suddenly clicks.
Tom's new conversation with Jessica:
"Jessica, I've been thinking about our talk last week. I realize I did all the talking. I'd love to hear your perspective on how that presentation went for you."
Not more control. Not more advice.
Connection first. Then growth.
