AI, Coaching, and the Surprising Human Upside
from Workquake Weekly Hosted by Steve Cadigan
Welcome to Workquake Weekly. Each week we take a short pause to make sense of the wild, ever-changing world of work, without the doom and gloom. Think of this as your weekly coffee break for fresh ideas, practical experiments, and maybe a laugh when work feels like it is spinning out of control. In this episode, Steve Cadigan digs into a surprising insight from recent research covered in Fast Company. Many people are opening up more to an AI coach than to a human one. Why would that be, and what does it mean for real coaches, leaders, and teams? Steve unpacks the idea of psychological safety wrapped in code, shares what he is seeing through Slate Advisers and their AI coach, Kai, and lays out where AI can help and where humans still shine. We also talk about the big caveat, privacy, and how to blend AI for breadth with humans for depth so coaching becomes more accessible and more effective. Highlights: why people feel safer with a bot, what stays uniquely human, experiments you can try this week, and the privacy must-haves to earn trust.
