The challenges of coaching and mentoring 27 Some AI-coach scenarios Visual enhancement The AI listens and draws images that relate to the narrative. It may link to a vir- tual world like Pro-Real to support the coach and the client in the conversation. The client’s response provokes changes and the AI learns and adapts. When the client says, »I feel boxed in« for example, the AI may present a menu of images, which prompt the client to be more specific. Essentially, it is providing visual prompts for the client and the coach to follow. The perceptive coach will note the difference between the images they were drawn to and those that the client responds to. This helps the coach detach more thoroughly from their own associations and assumptions – working with the client’s world, not their own. Menu of resources There are so many tools, techniques and models available that it is impossible to have more than a small selection at our fingertips. In its dedicated chatroom, the AI highlights and constantly updates a menu of conceptual models, diag- nostic questionnaires and other potentially relevant materials. Nuances of meaning Especially when people come from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, the meaning they attach to words and phrases may be very different. It is easy to miss the significance of the other person’s language. Armed with an analy- sis of hundreds of conversations from each of the cultures, the AI points out potential gaps in understanding. Coach supervision Both the coach and the supervisor bring their own AIs to the supervision ses- sion. As they dissect a case that the coach has brought for discussion: Ȥ The coach turns to their AI to check what was actually said and what actu- ally happened (as opposed to their rationalised memory of the conversation) Ȥ The supervisor refers to their AI for theoretical constructs that may be help- ful; and for parallels in cases brought to them by other coaches, or previ- ously by the same coach Open-Access-Publikation im Sinne der CC-Lizenz BY-NC-ND 4.0
