490: AI: A Coach's Ultimate Thought Partner with Ron West, PCC
AI is all around us! Is it a threat or an opportunity? How do coaches make sure to stay in the driver’s seat and engage with AI in an ethical, yet productive way? The bottom line is that AI can serve as a powerful multiplier for coaches—not a replacement for them. You’ll learn how today’s guest leverages the power of AI in various ways to organize his life’s work and enhance client deliverables. His enthusiasm for AI is balanced by practical caution, emphasizing that the coach must always be the one “driving the bus.” Join us to learn more!
Ron J. West is an executive coach and the founder of West Executive. For more than two decades, he has worked with senior leaders navigating complexity and change. He is the creator of the Chrysalis ecosystem, which comprises leadership experiences built around a simple idea: when leaders expand how they think and lead, the organizations and systems they serve can also evolve. Ron is a repeat guest on the STaR Coach Show, and we’re thrilled to visit with him again!
Show Highlights:
- AI as a useful thought partner–not a replacement for coaches
- Ron’s brainchild project: building a captured/private GPT of his body of work of 600+ artifacts (the Chrysalis AI Portal)
- Establishing guardrails to keep AI private and controlled (I.e., captured–as opposed to “set free” on the internet)
- Using Chrysalis as a practitioner with clear guidelines and purpose (“What am I trying to achieve?”)
- When using AI, remember who is “driving the bus”!
- Examples from Ron and Meg of using AI in the coaching process
- AI cannot replace the human aspect of coaching—in meeting people where they are.
- Compiling a database with the help of AI to build your legacy
- Examples of infographics and other resources created by AI
- Ron’s advice to coaches about harnessing the power of AI: “Just experiment. Enjoy the journey!”

Enroll More Clients: Clarity Sprint
Do you love coaching, but when it comes to enrolling clients, writing your bio, or posting online, you freeze? Or fall into “coach speak” that doesn’t actually connect?
That’s not a you problem. It’s a messaging problem—and it’s costing you clients.
Join me for my free, live five-day experience: Enroll More Clients: Clarity Sprint. From March 16–20 at 9 a.m. Central, I’ll help you get crystal clear on your ideal client, refine your message so it actually resonates, and create a confidence statement that makes booking a call the obvious next step.
No fluff, just clarity, you can use immediately.
