A final call for registrations for the Digital and AI Coaches' Conference before early bird pricing lifts at the weekend! The full agenda (link in comments, apparently that's what the algorithm wants us to do now) is a fantastic, diverse lineup of experts from around the world and it's going to be a wonderful time together.

The platform went live today and we've already seen attendees connecting with one another and research projects being shared, so now's the best time to get in to make sure you see everything that's going on!

Some of the incredible speakers we'll be hearing from are Jonathan Passmore, Prof. Dr. Sandra Julia Diller, Dorota Karas, Panos Malakoudis, Darren Leech, Anna Unwin, Scott Hardie, Tatiana Bachkirova, Julia Bend, Rebecca Rutschmann, Toby Sinclair, Catherine Breslin, James Durrant, David Tee, Joel Monk, Michael Hudson, Dr Naeema Pasha, Dr Rachael Skews, CPsychol, Colin Cosgrove, Fiona McBride, Navid Nazemian, PCC, Rachel Hawley, Claudia Day-Benedetti, Adina Tarry, Dr. Terrence E. Maltbia, Susan Caesar and Professor Peter Hawkins. Every one of them is fantastic and worth following in their own right.

Absolutely brilliant to get to be a part of the City HR Association conference yesterday in a beautiful and Christmassy venue! 

A privilege to share the stage with so many influential and knowledgeable people, and to have wonderful conversations getting to know some new folk - and reconnecting with old friends - throughout the day. 

The overall themes from the day were pretty consistent: 
- we should be experimenting with technology
- we could get better at building investment cases and demonstrating business benefits
- AIcoach.chat is a great place to start (ok, that was just me that said that but I'm sure everyone was thinking it) 

Thank you so much to everyone for making me feel so welcome, and a special thanks to Nikki Squelch, Meena Anand, Louise Brown, Sai H. and the rest of the team for pulling together such a fantastic event.

A recent Reddit post, set of LinkedIn comments and a conversation with a coach led to this stream of consciousness. I see so many AI tools I find myself attracted to trying out, and am discovering that probably they're not the ones that will actually make the most difference.

Like many things everything's connected, and this is probably a good reminder that in the five years since the first thought I had (included in this article and in How to Thrive as a Coach in a Digital World), my conclusions haven't changed and the world hasn't changed that much, despite AI painting everything a different colour.

What do you think, anyway? Have I nailed something that's common to all coaches, or just laid out my own failures on public display?

Open article: Digital and AI Coaches’ Conference by isaacson.uk

Maybe our resistance to new technologies isn't because of what it does that's unhelpful, but because of what it reveals about us.

Every time we introduce a new piece of technology we end up having our relationship with risk and reward exposed. And while AI presents new issues, I wonder if it hasn't actually created new ethical problems but instead simply makes our old ones impossible to ignore...

Is AI the world's brightest spotlight, pointing straight at our blind spots?

In this article I've pulled together the 3 hidden categories of tech problems we never talk about, but urgently need to - and why the biggest problem with AI is quite possibly...us.

As always I'd love to hear your thoughts - what ethical tension in technology do you think we're still pretending isn't there?

Every sort of technology provides us with benefits, and also introduces new problems. Getting that balance right is critical. While time tends to allo
