When we first designed I Want to Start Coaching at Work, we had one clear goal: we didn’t want it to be just another forgettable course. Coaching is a vital skill. Like any skill, it requires practice to develop. This practice can be real, honest, slightly awkward, and ultimately rewarding.
That’s why we took our time integrating AI roleplay into our courses. We avoided flashy gimmicks. Instead, we aimed for something genuinely useful. We wanted to help new and aspiring managers improve their coaching abilities, especially when they can’t always find someone to practice with.
Why AI Roleplay?
Conversations are where coaching truly happens.
It’s one thing to learn the GROW model or to understand the importance of asking great questions. It’s another to use these skills in real conversations. This is especially challenging when dealing with a frustrated, confused, or exhausted individual.
The Alchemist Coaching Partner, our friendly AI, allows you to explore these conversations first-hand. It offers realistic, scenario-based roleplays where you can practice coaching discussions in a safe and private space. You can make mistakes, try different approaches, and ask again. It’s all about learning.
You won't be judged – you will gain valuable feedback and grow.
Available Now in Both Courses
The AI roleplay feature is now live in both of our coaching skills courses:
I want to start coaching at work – tailored for new or aspiring managers looking to develop confidence in essential coaching skills like listening, powerful questioning, and the GROW model.
The Power Playbook: Supercharge Your Coaching at Work – designed for those ready to elevate their coaching skills through deeper challenges and advanced conversations.
Practice When It Suits You
What makes this tool exceptionally powerful is its availability.
You don’t need to coordinate with a colleague or hope someone is free to assist. You can dive into a coaching scenario at 7:00 a.m. while sipping coffee or revisit one at 10:00 p.m. after a long day. The ability to repeatedly try different scenarios is invaluable.
This flexibility means that coaching practice can now fit your schedule perfectly.
Real Conversations Still Matter
Nothing can replace the experience of practicing coaching in real-life situations with real people. We still encourage every learner to apply their newfound knowledge in their daily work. However, let’s be honest – sometimes that’s easier said than done.
Your team may not be ready for this coaching journey yet. You might not feel confident enough to lead. Or perhaps you’re in a new role and hesitate to make mistakes in front of your boss.
This is where AI roleplay truly shines. It serves as a bridge between learning and doing.
The Significance of Feedback
Feedback is a crucial part of effective coaching. The AI Coaching Partner provides constructive feedback after each scenario. This helps you refine your skills and adapt your coaching style based on real-time responses.
You can learn what works best and what doesn’t. This continuous feedback loop will help you evolve as a coach.
Try It Yourself
If you’re starting out as a manager or looking to sharpen your coaching approach, now is the best time to practice. You have a partner to assist you in this journey.
Both courses are available through The Alchemist E-learning Catalogue, complete with the new AI-powered roleplay tool.
Coaching isn’t about achieving perfection. It’s about showing up, asking the right questions, and continually growing with every conversation.
Additionally, remember that sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part. With the AI Coaching Partner, you can confidently engage in practice without fear of judgment.
By embracing this technology, you take an important step towards enhancing your coaching skills. You’ll be better prepared for real coaching moments when they arise.
Coaching is about connection and understanding. Let the AI roleplay feature assist you in finding your unique coaching voice, ensuring you can navigate any conversation with confidence. So why wait? Start your coaching journey today!
