Why Origins Matter in the Age of AI Coaching (with Dr. Saba Hasanie)
The Business of Executive CoachingShow Notes
Today I'm joined by Dr. Saba Hasanie, an ICF MCC certified coach, supervisor and author, and a three-time guest on the podcast. Saba has been working in executive coaching for 16 years, following an amazing career spanning marketing, sales, HR and management consulting.
Saba shares the story behind her new book, The Blueprint of Leadership: How Your Origins Shape Leadership in a Complex World. She explains why she wrote it now, as AI gets better at asking powerful questions and coaches look for both depth and speed.
Saba and I cover a lot of ground in this episode, including the six fields of the origins map, how it sits alongside vertical development, and the profiling tool that links childhood stories to leadership behaviours under pressure. We also talk about where this work fits in a coach's development, what organisations are saying about leadership programs that aren't delivering, and why differentiation matters when you now have non-human competition.
