Intelligent ThinkShow Notes
Welcome to Intelligent Think, the podcast in which we explore what makes ideas great, how we can make our thinking better, and why it’s so important to share your ideas with the world. In this episode, Verity chats with Deb King about: * The story behind Coach Training Campus: Deb shares her journey from early coaching training to founding a global community with her business partner, Gabby. * The power of thinking partners: We look at how collaboration and diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes, and why being “like-hearted” is more important than being “like-minded”. * The Coaches Results Express model: Deb explains how they use color-coded “zones” to help coaches fast-track their success and create signature offerings. * AI and unique human intelligence: Deb discusses the role of AI in coaching, stressing that coaches should first uncover and own their unique expertise before leveraging AI as a tool to streamline and enhance their work, rather than relying on it to generate content or ideas.
