International Coaching Week is Coming!

When we decided to celebrate International Coaching Week May 12-18, the leadership team at OurClub.tech started thinking about how we could offer something new and different to our members and the broader coaching community.

Our first idea was to offer something designed to show how the use of AI for habit development could benefit segments of the community.  We quickly saw the challenge posed by the sheer number of specialties. Internet searches demonstrated the impressive diversity of practitioners, and when we added our own Facilitator Coaching specialties we came up with a list of twenty:

1. Life Coach: Helps individuals navigate personal challenges and achieve their goals.
2. Business Coach: Assists entrepreneurs and business owners with growth and strategy.
3. Executive Coach: Works with leaders and managers to improve performance and leadership skills.
4. Career Coach: Supports individuals in their job search and career development.
5. Performance Coach: Helps individuals or teams improve their performance in a specific area.
6. Health Coach: Focuses on promoting healthy habits and lifestyle choices.
7. Wellness Coach: Helps individuals achieve overall well-being through various aspects of life.
8. Fitness Coach: Provides guidance and support for fitness goals.
9. Diet Coach: Helps individuals develop healthy eating habits.
10. Mindset Coach: Helps individuals overcome limiting beliefs and develop a positive mindset.
11. Relationship Coach: Supports individuals in improving their interpersonal relationships.
12. Parenting Coach: Assists parents in navigating the challenges of raising children.
13. Spiritual Coach: Helps individuals explore their spiritual path and find meaning in life.
14. Retirement Coach: Helps Individuals make life decisions for fulfilling retirement years
15. Meditation Coach: Guides individuals in developing a meditation routine
16. Personal Excellence Facilitator Coach: Helps individuals use PerfectCoaches to learn habits to excel
17. Healthy Living Facilitator Coach: Helps individuals use PerfectCoaches to learn wellness habits
18. Smart Money Facilitator Coach: Helps individuals use PerfectCoaches to learn habits for financial success
19. Customer Skills Facilitator Coach: Helps groups use PerfectCoaches to learn business habits
20. Leadership Facilitator Coach: Helps individuals use PerfectCoaches to learn leadership habits

Then we said, OK, let’s take advantage of this diversity.  Maybe it would be helpful to demonstrate how coaches with different expertise could use our Collaborative Innovation technique to create new and innovative coaching approaches. The Collaborate Innovation technique we offer members of OurClub.tech uses AI and traditional collaboration techniques to create new ideas. For now, here is one example: What if a Retirement Coach and a Parenting Coach worked together? The first step in our three-step process  is to see how generative AI can help. Here is what Chat GPT suggested:

“If a parenting coach and a retirement coach collaborated to develop new coaching techniques, they could create a unique blend of family-focused, multi-generational, and legacy-building coaching strategies. Here are some innovative techniques they could invent:

1. The Legacy Parenting Method – A framework helping retirees mentor their children and grandchildren with wisdom, financial planning, and life skills.
2. Generational Bridge Coaching – A method that helps parents and retirees improve communication and connection between generations for stronger family bonds.
3. The Family Wealth & Wisdom Plan – A technique that combines financial literacy, emotional intelligence, and legacy planning to help parents and retirees set their families up for long-term success.
4. The Grandparent Mentor Model – A structured approach where retirees become active mentors for their grandchildren, blending wisdom with modern parenting techniques.”

This will be the first year that OurClub.tech will celebrate the event. We will focus on the expanded role coaching can play as more tools are added to the coach’s repertoire and highlight two assets we have added: 

• A “wearable” coach running on the Apple Watch
• An end-to-end coaching tool that includes an easy-to-use billing capability to get the business up and running

Stay tuned to our blogs to see how you can be part of the celebration!
