Day 238
Today I take action on building the life I want. This last weekend I started having difficulty breathing, not to the point of being alarming, but definitely uncomfortable. I saw a doctor yesterday and she ran some tests. I was diagnosed with RSV, which is a respiratory virus. I had it around 15 years ago and it kicked my ass and took me weeks to get over. Now, I'm already fighting with additional chronic health conditions, which makes it even more challenging. For a long time now, taking action has meant working to get well enough to perform basic daily activities. My mood is stable, but I'm really getting tired of this. It's both physically and mentally exhausting and just plain inconvenient.

I hear hear you, John. It’s easy to say ‘be string and keep going’ to other person. But, take it steady and one day at a time. Hope you’re okay.

Level 2 completed!
I’ve learned a great deal of the fundamental values and belief systems. All of it makes sense to me. But, something struck me more deeply than others (although, I’m not referring that ‘others’ are not important!). The statement “People: there is no such things as un-resourceful people, just un-resourceful state of being” Bam! It hits me. Because sometimes, the worst criticism for me is coming for me.

If ChatGPT can do what you do, you've got a problem
I know that's probably a strange thing for me to say in an email to coaches. But I think we need to be realistic about what's happening. If someone can type: "Help me improve my confidence." "Give me 10 questions to help me find my purpose." "How do I change my mindset?" …and get a pretty decent answer in 30 seconds for free… Why would they pay a coach hundreds or thousands to give them the same information? That's the challenge facing coaching right now. And AI is only going to get better. But here's what I think is really interesting… AI isn't going to replace great coaching. It's going to expose the difference between information and transformation. I saw that again on Monday when I ran my relationship masterclass. We talked about breaking relationship patterns, resentment, triggers, trust, communication, confidence and healing what's happened in the past. People don't struggle with these things because nobody has ever told them what to do. Most of them already know. They've read the books. Watched the videos. Listened to the podcasts. And now they can ask ChatGPT too. And they're still stuck. Because knowing you need to set a boundary isn't the same as being able to set one. Knowing you have trust issues doesn't suddenly make you trust again. Knowing you're repeating a relationship pattern doesn't necessarily tell you how to stop it. That's where a properly trained coach becomes incredibly valuable. And it's why I believe relationship coaching is one of the areas AI is going to struggle to replace. If you missed Monday's session and want to see the kind of work I'm talking about, I've made the replay available here: Watch the Relationship Masterclass replay here And then next Monday, 12th October, I'm running a completely FREE live masterclass specifically for coaches: The Coaches AI Can't Replace And How to Become One I'm going to show you: What's happening to the coaching industry as AI gets better.

Such an insightful info, Ed @Ed JC Smith . I’m a great believer that machine (including AI tools like ChatGPT) are meant to be tools to help us human. I remember when I did my MBA, it was around when chatGPT was just been released, my digital transformation professor told us, he said “ It depends how you use this tool. It can be very helpful or damaging depend on the hands it lands in. The smart student will be smarter the dumb student will indeed, get dumber” I work with AI all the time, before I gave up my full time job as an FD for Oxford based biotech company for 8 years, this is the core technology that drives the company’s proprietary assets. But that said, the people behind this machine are an army of very smart PHd’s in their own deep expertise that trains it. I use a mixture of AI tools all the time, personally and professionally, (chatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, even Midjourney), mostly for brainstorming, looking for good structure, and sometime just for fun or embracing my creative side. But, I own the prompt and the information I’ve put in it, the critical thinking and the integrity on what I want to use this information for. I have never just taken the information from these tools at a face value, and sanity check must be carried out for more evidence to verify the information. ChatGPT can lie! My take is this, would AI coach outperform Human coach? Yes and no. AI will outperform things like speed and availability (ai offers instant support 24/7 365 days), Data processing (ai can process complex data sets and flags data that human can miss), consistency (ai can perform coaching without off days, being fatigue or burnout, or just having a bad day), costs (it can be considerably cheaper to subscribe to this ai tools). Where human coach outperform are: Empathy and Emotional Intelligence (we offer genuine rapport and presence which is necessary so we can build trust, and we can read non-verbal communication from body language, facial expression and tonality, if which ai can’t (for now anyway). Whilst chatGPT and Claude can have superficial empathy, I think human still has better understanding and judgement about life and emotional complexities. Last but not least, human does need another human being for relationship and accountability, that is part of being human. Client will need a human coach who is genuinely care about what they are going through and to support their growth. In a world where AI is everywhere, people are craving more and more about genuine interaction and relationship with another human being.

Procrastination
My biggest challenge is procrastination. So, starting today, I commit myself. I’ve created my action list for this week. Next week will be a new list, as the previous one will be completed. Everyday, I’ll tick it off as I completed it. It’ll only be one or two actions to complete a day. But I’m going to do it. I start small and gradually increase and expands, so I don’t burn out too quickly. Because, If I don’t change today, tomorrow will be the same.

I'm 46 today 🎂 (and I've been coaching for 30 years)
Today is my birthday. 46 years old. 🎂 Which also means I've now been coaching people for 30 years. Yep… I started when I was 16. (I'll let you decide whether that makes me experienced or just slightly mad 😂) But after three decades of coaching, there's one thing I've learned... The coaches who create the biggest transformations aren't necessarily the ones who know the most. They're the ones who know how to get underneath the problem somebody THINKS they have… And find what's really keeping them stuck. Because I've coached people through just about everything over the years. Relationships. Money. Confidence. Business. Procrastination. Fear. Self-sabotage. Trauma and past patterns. The problems might look completely different… But the process of creating a breakthrough is remarkably similar. And that's exactly what I'm teaching LIVE a week from today on Monday 21st September: How To Do A Breakthrough Coaching Session So You Can Charge Between $1,500-$10,000 By Transforming Your Client Regardless Of Their Problem… I'll show you how I structure a breakthrough session. How I uncover what's REALLY going on. How I identify the pattern underneath the problem. And how I coach somebody towards the breakthrough they've been unable to create by themselves. After 30 years, I've made plenty of mistakes and learned a LOT about what actually creates transformation. So, seeing as it's my birthday… I thought I'd share some of it with you. 🎁 👉 REGISTER FOR MONDAY'S LIVE BREAKTHROUGH SESSION HERE See you there. And now I'm off to contemplate how on earth I became 46. 😂 Ed
