AI and Coaching — What It Changes (and What It Doesn't) (Dr. Hebenstreit)
Description
Coaching is traditionally built around human insight and experience. The real question is:
What happens when that process is translated into AI?
My guest is Dr. R. Karl Hebenstreit, an organizational psychologist who built an AI version of his coaching approach.
In this conversation, we explore:
• What AI can replicate—and what it can't—in coaching
• Whether you can effectively "coach yourself" with AI
• How personality models like the Enneagram are used in practice
• Where these tools help—and where they may oversimplify
• What changes when insight becomes automated
This isn't about replacing human coaching.
It's about understanding what these tools actually do.
