Top coaches don’t settle for good enough. They want to improve. They seek feedback from all directions, and now they ask ChatGPT. AI, and ChatGPT especially, can contribute to growing your coaching or consulting practice, improving how you serve clients and manage your workload. Strengthen client relationships and reach more people with clever use of this large language model.
Here’s how to leverage AI in ways that grow your practice and sharpen your approach.
Boost your coaching with AI: ChatGPT prompts to try
Speed up your research
Your clients are important to you, and their industry should be too. So make sure they know you have learned their world. AI can save time when researching unfamiliar industries or client-specific areas. Katya Varbanova, CEO of Viral Marketing Stars, shared, “Whenever I get a new client from an industry I am not familiar with, ChatGPT is very helpful to research the industry, including the jargon and common practices.”
Before a session with a new client from a new field, ask AI for a quick industry overview. This shortcut equips you to relate to clients in a way that shows a grasp of their field, saving you time and allowing you to connect with them on a deeper level.
“I’m meeting a potential client from the industry of [describe]. Their role involves [add what you know, or paste their LinkedIn profile.] Provide an overview of their work, likely challenges, and provide a glossary of twenty key terms from their industry.
Break down complex ideas
Making your guidance accessible to clients is key to effective coaching. Sophie Rhone, founder of Digital PR Lab, said, “AI can help make consultancy easier to understand for people new to an industry by simplifying complex terms and concepts.” If a client struggles to grasp something you present, get ChatGPT’s help simplifying or reframing.
The tool can take your materials and translate them into clear, everyday language, using analogies you hadn’t thought of. Adjust the complexity of your notes or instructions. Help clients walk away from sessions feeling extra empowered and ready to apply what they’ve learned without struggling to decode industry jargon.
“Take this framework and simplify it. Suggest 3 other ways I could walk a client through the same method, so it’s more likely to be effective.”
Strengthen your brand
For coaches, consultants, and every other pro, creating a memorable brand is essential for building a loyal client base. Maybe it’s time for a refresh, to roll with the times and make sure your online presence matches up with your credentials. Vee Khuu, an AI business consultant, has used Ideogram to make a professional logo quickly, noting, “It saved time and design costs and helped me establish a strong brand identity.”
Test out tools like Midjourney or Looka to create a logo, graphics, and other visuals that align with your brand’s voice. This small investment of time and focus goes a long way in creating an image that’s consistent and recognizable to clients. Get some inspiration before going forward with a rebrand.
“My coaching brand delivers [describe the transformation you create] for [describe the type of client you serve.] Create a mood board to depict this brand, ensuring it portrays [describe how you want to be seen] to potential clients.”
Build scalable programs
AI helps create customized, scalable coaching programs that can reach a wider audience without losing the personal touch. Tim Glowa, founder of HRbrain, highlighted that, for him, “the big opportunity is to bring highly personalized career and executive-level coaching down to all layers in an organization.”
With tools like Tome AI, you can design modular, visually appealing coaching materials that work for individuals and groups. This approach lets you expand your reach without losing the quality clients value in one-on-one coaching. Try this in ChatGPT so you know how to compare other tools.
“Take this outline of a coaching program I run and reimagine it on a bigger scale. Instead of teaching this 1-to-1 or in small groups, I want to make an impact for hundreds or thousands of people at the same time. Rework the agenda accordingly. [Paste outline]”
Add emotional depth
You’re already emotionally intelligent; that’s why clients hire you. But you can bring even more emotional depth to sessions when you use AI’s analytical abilities as a foundation for your coaching. Mindset coach Kirsty Raynor said, “We create synergy to help with deeper problems in a factual and emotionally intelligent way.” Using AI tools including ChatGPT to track patterns in client feedback can help you identify recurring themes.
Deploy a constructive blend of data and empathy to address sensitive issues more effectively, creating a stronger bond with clients. Take the (anonymised) transcript of a recent call and see what you can do. Combine it with personality assessments or metrics going back and deep dive on the data.
“I’m pasting a transcript from a coaching session with my client. Conduct an emotional analysis to understand this client better. Outline 5 key observations for us to explore further. [Paste the transcript]”
ChatGPT and AI tools: Take your coaching practice to the next level
Open your mind and doors to streamlined processes, broader reach, and a more personalized client experience. Speed up your research when you enter new fields and break down complex frameworks to be remembered forever. Strengthen your brand, think bigger with your impact, and add emotional depth when you get a second opinion. You’re already a top coach, but now you can be even better. Join forces with AI for a stronger coaching practice.
