“Artificial Intelligence won’t replace managers but managers who use AI will replace managers that don’t.” Erik Brynjofsson and Andrew McAfee, AI pioneers.
Substitute coaches for managers in the above quote. It’s equally true. The marriage of coaching and artificial intelligence has been on the horizon for a while but is only now coming into full view. Coaching is growing in importance to business people, athletes, Millennials, Gen Z’ers, health seekers and those on a career journey. Over the next decade, artificial intelligence tools will augment the strengths of executive, life, health, and sports coaches around the globe.
Every industry has pioneers, early adopters, and laggards. Pioneers see the future. While early adopters can’t necessarily see the future, they know it’s coming, it portends change, and so they adopt new thinking to stay alive. Finally, there are the laggards. They’re not sure the business will ever change and are slow to accept significant change opportunities because they have always been successful just as they are. Unfortunately, because of the blistering pace of technological change, the gap will only expand in the next five years. Consequently, laggards will find it increasingly difficult to keep pace.
Artificial intelligence presents a world of promise. It presents a new environment teeming with ideas, hopes, and dreams. Nevertheless, what makes the current environment so very different than in the past is the amount of investment currently being poured into the technology. Trillions worldwide in large corporations and new start-ups, research, training, academics, and innovation. We can now leverage new computer storage capabilities, processing speeds, stronger algorithms, and pools of AI talent to design new solutions inspiring us to find new and practical ways to use these tools to help when coaching your own clients.
By investing in the increasing alignment of AI and coaching you are demonstrating your pioneer tendencies. You are proactively providing your coaching business with a leg up on the competition. I’m not suggesting you become a coder or programmer. In fact, the opposite. AI tools, straight off the shelf are becoming available to enhance your coaching expertise. If you’re a coach (or are aspiring to be one), and you are looking to differentiate your offering to the marketplace, your existing clients, and your potential clients, then pursue digital coaching. By augmenting the human interaction of coaching with tools that make the interaction easier, more fulsome, and more exciting, artificial intelligence becomes the coaching partner of the future.

Top Communications Skills that you can practice with Rocky the coaching App:
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a simple method for clear, empathic communication, consisting of ft
Rocky will set your growth mindset for these questions and reflect with you.
Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place, person or group to another.
Every communication involves (at least) one sender, a message and a recipient. This may sound simple, but communication is actually a very complex subject. The complexity is why good communication skills are considered so desirable by employers around the world: accurate, effective and unambiguous communication is actually extremely hard.
There are four categories of communication which all need to be championed.
Here are 8 tips to improve your interpersonal communication skills and how you can apply them with Rocky the AI bot:
- Practice active listening. Rocky will ask you to recall the conversations you had so that you can reflect on the behavior that you showed to your communication partner.
- Maintain your relationships. Be reminded by the app to prepare for meetings with colleges or friends and define who currently needs you attention.
- Cultivate a positive outlook. The app helps you to be positive by reminding you every day of the good things about your life and your job. If you’re upset about a personal matter, set those feelings aside until after work. If you’re stressed about a work issue, look for the positive in the situation and try to articulate that.
- Control your emotions. Being emotional rarely is helpful. Whether you’re extremely irritated, severely depressed or ecstatically happy, take a deep breath and tone your emotions down. The reflection app will help you to mentally prepare for these situations.
- Acknowledge others. One of the best ways to build trust at work is to let your co-workers and other people know you appreciate their expertise. Ask for their help on projects and give credit where credit is due.
- Show a real interest in people. Define who you will dedicate time for in your coaching chats and then make a point of getting to know what’s important to your co-workers, family or friends. It will help solidify your relationships with them.
- Be assertive. It’s important to be assertive. Be confident in your ability and opinions, and don’t be afraid to express your needs, as well as your limits. Practice assertiveness daily with Rocky.
- Practice empathy. Gain a well-rounded view of things by putting yourself in other people’s shoes. This will help you develop empathy for others, which in turn goes a long way in finding solutions that work for all involved.

Coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focus on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or future. Coaching questions unlock your potential for performance and success by helping you to learn and practice rather than teaching you. Like personal trainers, but for your growth mindset. Rocky is a digital coach, an AI chatbot which asks you those powerful questions with daily reflections. The main focus of Rocky is to help you to implement soft skills, such as communication skills, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, life skills or time management skills. The AI uses qualities derived from leadership coaching and executive coaching.
Rocky is not replacing a therapist and does not have the intention of providing scientific therapeutic approaches within the app. The method instead used by Rocky is solution-oriented coaching. Rocky is created to help you to practice soft-skills with the power of coaching questions. The science behind it is Repetition, a success factor for learning and to help transition a skill from the conscious to the subconscious. Through repetition, soft skills such as life skills and social skills are practiced and rehearsed over time and gradually become easier. Rocky is an intuitive approach to answer questions relevant to your road to success.
The calm app is for sleep and meditation, helping you to relax and reduce stress. The headspace app also helps with meditation and mindfulness to relax. Rocky instead is an artificial intelligence bot that uses the power of coaching questions with guided AI conversation. As an AI chatbot and digital coach, Rocky will inspire you to reflect daily. The conversations work best if you take the time to actually answer the questions with mindful reflective answers, which might require some effort on your part.
Rocky is helping you indirectly with fitness and health. However, Rocky specifically helps with the power of challenging coaching questions and reflections. This allows you to recognize your own strengths and weaknesses and use this to guide ongoing learning. By reflection you will develop your skills in self-directed learning, improve motivation, and improve your quality of life and practice habits of highly successful people.
Yes, Rocky is a digital coach asking you daily reflection coaching questions for your growth mindset and it is a unique journaling experience that captures your thoughts and feelings, moods, and interests over time and gives journaling prompts for reflection, together with insight to help you repeat personal success factors and practice your soft skills.

Carol Dweck, a Stanford University psychologist, summarizes In her book "Mindset, the new psychology of success", decades of research on how a person's mindset affects achievement and success.
There are two mindsets: Fixed and Growth.
Fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, intelligence or talent, are good enough to creates success—without effort. These types of people feel defeated after a failure and step away from challenges outside their comfort zone.
In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. These success factors support continuous learning and a resilience that is essential for great success. These types of people view challenges and failures as opportunities to learn and grow. This mindset is the hallmark of achievement and a key to success.
We all have some shades of both growth and fixed mindsets, depending on the situation. Cultivating a growth mindset will improve your ability to succeed in all areas of life. Learning a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports. It affects how you lead, manage, parent and show up in relationships. Think about how you last approached a challenge: with curiosity for what you could learn, or by thinking about how you might appear if things went wrong?
With reflection and great success coaching questions, Rocky will help you daily to implement your personal success vision.
Stephen Covey described in his book, The 7 habits of highly effective people, approaches for the key to success.
Rocky will help you to practice these habits of successful people and your soft skill with daily coaching questions and tutorials. All you have to do is to reflect and journal your answers.
Numerous individuals find doing self-reflection troublesome or inconvenient. They don't comprehend why they need it, and they don't see the advantages doing self-reflection. For what reason is self-reflection significant for you? Here I will uncover the advantages of self-reflection:
This method is changing the way we see ourselves. This might involve even changing our self-image or perceptions about us and our limitations. Cultivating awareness and making decisions through mindfulness starts with creating a shift in our point of view. A second step is to reshape our patterns of thinking, and a final step is to incrementally improve our practices. It is also closest to life-coaching.
A virtual assistant, also called AI assistant or digital assistant, is an application program that understands natural language by text or voice and is able to have conversations with you created to give you value or help.
A coach bot offers bitesize coaching that suits you for your leadership development journey. You reduce going to expensive seminars on a frequent basis and the coach bot will help you to stay on track and to develop your habits and leadership routines.
As you develop leadership skills, you’ll likely use different processes and methods to achieve your employer’s objectives and meet the needs of the employees who report to you. To be effective as a manager, you might use several different leadership styles at any given time.
Common Leadership styles are:
1. Coaching Leadership
2. Visionary Leadership
3. Servant Leadership
4. Autocratic Leadership
5. Laissez-faire or hands-off Leadership
6. Democratic Leadership
7. Pacesetter Leadership
8. Transformational Leadership
9. Transactional Leadership
10. Bureaucratic Leadership
Rocky assists you to take charge of your leadership skills daily.
A monthly fee at the price of two books. One coaching session can cost up to $500.
A robot's consistency enables practicing leadership skills daily. In reality, only 8% of leadership learnings are brought into daily practice.
To remind you achievements that you make everyday.
Yes. ROCKY.AI inspires you with leadership quotes.
In either case, the characteristics of those in charge correlated to their ability to accomplish their goals. Just as importantly, those same traits determined how much – or how little – their followers looked up to them.
This coaching type is oriented towards goal-setting and problem-solving. The Goal is the end point, where we want to be. It must be defined clearly to measure achievement. Then you have the current Reality. What are the issues, the challenges, what is the journey towards the goal? There will be of course Obstacles stopping you from progress. Once Obstacles have been identified, you need to find ways of dealing with them. These are the Options. Finally, you have the Way-Forward. It consists of the action steps which will bring us closer to the anticipated results. This approach has similarities with Google’s approach to OKR Objectives and Key Result.
Self -Awareness is a fundament here as well. To recognize and understand moods, emotions, and drives. It requires also to study about Self-Management. The ability to manage or redirect disruptive impulses and moods and to suspend judgment. With the intention to think before acting. Awareness of others is a key ability to recognize and understand the emotions and drives in others along with the effects that these have on our relationships. Finally, the social soft-skills come in place to manage and build networks with an ability to find common ground and build trust.
