Appreciative Inquiry in Coaching: Exploration and Learnings
Guest editors Barbara Sloan and Trudy Canine
This issue focuses on AI Coaching - the guest editors describe this process as
a co-creative partnership between the client, the Coach and the clients'
relevant social system. The articles illuminate the many ways in which AI Coach
practitioners are using AI in their work and combining it with other schools of
coaching or using it to support larger change initiatives.
SECTION 1: FOUNDATIONS
Social Construction in AI Coaching & Overview of Inquiry about AI in Coaching
The lead article explores how mindfulness of Social Construction can enhance
coaching and the results it achieves. Next there are highlights from interviews
with 35 coaching practitioners, blended with some of the author's own coaching
practices.
SECTION 2: AI and OTHER COACHING APPROACHES
Similarities, Impact on Practice, Innovations and Two-Way Enhancement
The five principles of AI play a significant role in coaching, as practiced by
all the authors and described in their articles. Articles also explore how
coaches trained in both AI and another well developed coaching model combine
the two.
SECTION 3: APPLICATIONS AND CASE STORIES
An internal practitioner at National Public Radio describes her work in
relationship coaching and her work with a senior executive who now uses AI in
his own work. AI in Coaching was part of a change initiative that transformed a
hospital department, taking it from "near death" to a thriving, respected
internal operation.
