OCTOBER 8, 15, and 22, 2026

Using AI is not a market position.
AI can ask questions, offer guidance and create plans in seconds. That does not make human coaching less important.
Human connection remains essential. It is no longer the entire value proposition.
Organizations are investing heavily in AI, but many still struggle with adoption, behavior change, leadership and measurable value. This creates a bigger role for coaches who know how to connect people, performance and AI transformation.
What You’ll Leave With:
A clear view of where organizational funding is moving
The AI-Powered Coach Diagnostic
The AI-Powered Coach Playbook
Seven real examples of coaching-led AI transformation
A clear picture of what to learn, build and do next
Three live sessions with practical discussion and Q&A
