AI Coaching – Personalized, but not Manipulative

Dr. Abbie Maroño, PhD and I discuss the fine line between using AI Coaching to empower self-possesed improvement and manipulating behaviors. Therefore, here are some takeaways: 

💡 AI Coaching: Personalized, Not Robotic 
In fact, this allows professionals to receive feedback that reflects their communication style, avoiding everyone from becoming “robotic” and prescriptive with in their behaviors.

💡AI The Perfect Ally for Human Coaching
Not everyone can afford in-person coaching, and AI offers a more affordable alternative. But it’s about using AI to simulate human coaching, based on recognized non-verbals, allowing users to adapt them naturally.

💡Reflect, Practice & Integrate 
Learning and mastering non-verbal communication is a process. It involves reflection and practice—two stages where Virtual Sapiens excels. Firstly, users can embrace continuous learning, gradually refining their behaviors until they become second nature, much like developing non-verbal muscle memory.

💡Real Change Takes Time 
Mastering non-verbal communication and communication in general, like any skill, requires consistent practice over time. For example, Abbie states that users should aim for a 6-month to 1-year period of regular practice to be able to integrate these behaviors fully, in effect they can focus on other aspects of communication without overthinking.
