Exploring AI-Supported Coaching

‍

Our winning proposal addresses a crucial research question: How Can AI-Supported Technology Improve Coaching Readiness? The primary goal of the AI-Supported Coaching Readiness Project is to investigate the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI into coaching practices. By examining how AI-supported technology can enhance coaching readiness, the project aims to provide valuable insights that will contribute to the coaching field.

‍

The AI-Supported Coaching Readiness Project embodies a pioneering spirit by exploring innovative coaching approaches and aims to provide evidence-based findings on the evolving field of coaching technologies and AI.

The project will be conducted by Sparkus and led by Dr. Fahri Akdemir from RISEBA University of Business Arts and Technology, who will serve as the Project Manager. Sparkus co-founder Ozlem Sarioglu, also an EMCC member and executive coach, will act as the Project Coordinator. SparkUs will provide its AI-supported coaching technology and engage its global pool of coaches, NGOs, and corporations to source a diverse participant pool for the research.
