AI has already set a minimum standard for coaching.
A lot of the industry has never met it.
AI isn’t replacing great coaches.
It’s exposing average ones.
I’m already seeing it.
AI tools can now run cleaner discovery calls than a huge chunk of the industry.
It follows threads.
It spots patterns.
All the time while:
Not getting emotionally hijacked.
Doesn't need validation.
Nor hide behind scripted questions.
And its training on millions of conversations while some coaches are still asking:
“So… what would success look like for you?”
That’s not facilitation.
That’s avoidance.
When electronic trading came in, average traders didn’t disappear overnight.
They were simply outperformed by cleaner systems.
The baseline moved.
Only those with deeper judgment survived the shift.
Technology rarely kills craft. It exposes who actually had it. Graham Nicholls Feb 9 2 likes
