Gentrack | Can AI coach you, or does coaching still require another human in the room?

Published: We Need To Talk About. Jennifer Mounce, Chief People Officer at Gentrack and a trained executive coach, recently joined Felix Mitchell on a podcast to discuss the evolving role of AI in coaching and leadership development.

During the discussion, Jennifer highlights how coaching differs from many other applications of AI. While AI is often used to generate answers, coaching focuses on helping individuals reflect and find their own.

The conversation explores how AI can support coaching by enabling role-play for difficult conversations, supporting reflection between sessions and helping managers develop coaching skills. However, Jennifer emphasises that AI should augment coaching rather than replace the human connection that sits at the heart of the process.

The podcast also raises important considerations around ethics, confidentiality and maintaining the safe space that effective coaching requires.

At Gentrack, AI is seen as a tool that can augment coaching, not replace the human element at its core.
