How Can I Evolve My Coaching Practice Alongside AI-Assisted Inquiry?
As AI-assisted inquiry becomes more refined, the role of a coach naturally shifts. Instead of competing with tools like OTTO, the opportunity is to evolve alongside them, using AI to deepen your practice rather than replace any part of it.
How AI Can Enhance Coaching Rather Than Replace It
- AI can refine inquiry, but you bring presence – While OTTO can generate deep questions, coaching is about how those questions are received, processed, and integrated.
- You can focus on what AI cannot do – AI doesn’t attune to emotion, sense subtle shifts in awareness, or hold space for silence—your presence is still essential.
- AI opens new possibilities for deep work – Instead of spending energy crafting the right inquiry, you can focus on exploring what arises from it.
Ways to Evolve with AI-Assisted Inquiry
- Stay curious about the tool itself – Engaging with OTTO for your own inquiry keeps your practice fresh and dynamic.
- Experiment with different ways of integrating AI – Find an approach that works for you, whether that’s using OTTO in sessions, offering it as a between-session companion, or something else entirely.
- Embrace the shift from authority to facilitator – With AI providing structured inquiry, you become more of a guide in how the process unfolds rather than the source of all questions.
Rather than resisting AI’s role in inquiry, coaching can evolve into something more fluid, where inquiry remains alive—not as something a coach delivers, but as something that naturally unfolds.
