AI as a Career Coaching Ally: Embracing Adaptability for the Future
Dr. Tina Persson

The labor market is currently undergoing rapid change due to digitalization and AI, and we will see more changes in the next ten years than in the past century. As career coaches and advisors, adapting to these rapid shifts requires embracing new strategies and integrating AI-driven tools such as ChatGPT to efficiently support you and your clients.

Say goodbye to the old and hello to the new!

AI will not replace the coach's role. Instead, it will redefine it, allowing coaches to focus on human-centric aspects of their practice. By leveraging AI, you can help clients, e.g., investigate their natural talents and, with the help of AI, broaden and explore your client's perspective of job fields and job roles that fit their natural drives and motivation. It’s not only effective but also fun!

To that, AI can handle tasks such as resume optimization and interview preparation, allowing you to focus on developing your clients' mindsets, uncovering their core values, addressing hidden fears, and helping them gain clarity in their career paths.

In this workshop, I will share insights from over three years of using AI in my coaching practice. I’ll demonstrate how AI can save clients hours of time on administrative tasks with the right guidance and carefully crafted questions, allowing more focus on meaningful conversations about their aspirations, values, and goals. We’ll explore how AI can act as a creative partner, sparking innovative thinking and helping clients step outside their usual perspectives.

This workshop is designed for career coaches and advisors curious about how AI can support their coaching practice.
