AI is transforming coaching, leadership, and the way we work—but how do you use it without losing what makes coaching powerful in the first place?

In this episode of The Coaching Lab, we sit down with Sara Parrode, AI Coach for Executives and Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, to explore how coaches and leaders can build a thoughtful, responsible relationship with artificial intelligence.

Sara shares practical insights on how to integrate AI into your coaching practice and business, while staying grounded in human connection, ethics, and intentionality. We also explore how this moment mirrors endurance sport—requiring resilience, adaptability, and the ability to navigate uncertainty with clarity and confidence.

If you're a coach, executive, or leader wondering how to use AI effectively (without feeling overwhelmed or replaced), this conversation will give you a clear and grounded starting point.

In this episode, we cover:

•  How AI is changing coaching and leadership right now 
•  Practical ways to use AI in your coaching business 
•  The risks of over-reliance—and how to avoid them 
•  Building a responsible and ethical relationship with AI 

Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting, this episode will help you move forward with intention—not just speed.
