AI is revolutionizing how organizations find, develop, and promote talent—but is it reducing bias or reinforcing it? As coaches, we have a critical role in helping clients implement these powerful tools with intentionality, ethical oversight, and humanity at the center. Join us to explore how to coach through this transformation.

What You'll Learn:

Coach Leaders Through AI Implementation: Develop strategies to guide organizations in aligning AI-driven hiring systems with their DEIB values while maintaining the human touch that makes talent decisions meaningful

Uncover Hidden Biases: Master coaching questions that reveal how unconscious biases—affinity bias, halo effect, pattern recognition—get built into both human decisions and automated systems

Leverage AI as an Awareness Tool: Discover how blind resume reviews, language analysis tools, and data patterns can create powerful feedback moments that help clients see their hidden preferences and systemic barriers

Support Stakeholders Across the Spectrum: Learn to coach job seekers facing AI screening, hiring managers uncomfortable removing "gut feel," HR leaders navigating resistance, and executives accountable for equity outcomes

Apply ICF Core Competencies: Integrate Cultivating Trust & Safety and Maintaining Presence to facilitate conversations about bias, automation anxiety, and the balance between efficiency and human judgment

Navigate Ethical Complexity: Understand your responsibilities around client confidentiality, organizational systems change, and maintaining coaching ethics (ICF Code of Ethics) while partnering with organizations on AI transformation

Who Should Attend: This webinar is essential for professional coaches, career coaches, leadership development practitioners, or coaches with a background in human resources, and organizational consultants working with clients navigating AI-driven talent systems. Whether you're coaching executives implementing new technology, individuals facing automated screening, or teams grappling with what "fair" hiring looks like in the age of AI, you'll gain practical frameworks for these critical conversations.

Why Attend: Walk away with powerful coaching questions, practical applications including bias awareness workshops and HR leadership coaching circles, and the confidence to help clients ensure that as AI reshapes talent systems, humanity remains at the center.
