Executive coaching is one of the most effective leadership development tools available, but it’s traditionally been reserved for senior executives because of cost and capacity. ALEX, the artificial intelligence (AI) coach from Admired Leadership, is trained on the same proprietary research as the firm’s executive coaches: 35 years of study into the behaviors of more than 12,000 exceptional leaders. Leaders at any level can use it to pressure-test a message, prepare for a hard conversation or think through a decision at the moment they need support. One enterprise talent leader already relies on ALEX to extend coaching across a leadership academy too large for human coaches to reach.

Matt Coyne, managing director at CRA | Admired Leadership, coaches senior executives and co-leads the firm’s AI work. In this live demonstration, he’ll show ALEX advising on a feedback conversation, sharpening a reorganization message and role-playing with a resistant direct report before stepping out of character to explain the coaching behind each interaction. You’ll see where AI coaching fits into a leadership development strategy and what it takes to scale coaching to more leaders.

After this session, attendees will better understand:

• How AI enables executive coaching to scale in ways that were previously impossible
• A wide range of use cases for AI to make people better (not just to drive efficiencies)
• How other organizations are using AI to scale coaching to more leaders
• The role that intellectual property and proprietary content play in AI response quality
