Hi Reader How are you doing? I've been enjoying my first summer in Canada. Planning very carefully so that I can keep that balance between exploring the Island, connection and all those MBA assignments 🌿 In between all that, one recent conversation really stayed with me, an expert I interviewed for my MBA shared something about AI that made me pause… and reflect. Let’s be honest, talking to AI can feel safe. You ask a question. You get an answer. No judgment. No discomfort. No follow-up. And I get it. I use ChatGPT too. (It even helps me draft these emails 😉) But, during that interview, I heard something that hit hard: “AI will drastically change the coaching and consulting world, and replace more jobs than we think.” It stuck with me, mainly because he is a business consultant working with tech start-ups, so he's not just some random person. Because yes, the pace of AI integration is a bit scary. And as a coach, I’ve thought a lot about what this means. Here’s where I landed:
Because when you talk to a real coach, we don’t just answer your questions. We ask the ones you’ve been avoiding. The ones that:
Over the past weeks, this series has explored the power of connection: 👀 To yourself 👋 To strangers on your path 👣 To someone walking beside you This week, it’s about the connection that makes all the difference: The one that makes you stop hiding from your truth. Because let’s face it, ChatGPT won’t call you out, unless you prompt it with the "right" questions. But a good coach will walk with you through it. This week I would love to invite you to have the kind of conversation that doesn’t let you off the hook. And if you don't have someone that will challenge you, I’m here for you 😊 Hit reply and let's get this conversation going!

View in browser Hi ReaderBy now, you know walking is a big part of my life. It’s how my coaching journey started, by reconnecting with nature and, eventually, myself. Hence the name, a Backyard Hiker, if you didn't make that connection yet 😊 First, it was giraffes and acacia trees, and then walking alongside my coaching clients. A lot of magic happens when you move. This week, something happened that reminded me of the power of a walk. When walking on campus, I noticed a classmate a few...
View in browser Unlike many others, my coaching journey didn’t begin in a classroom. It began with dirt trails, sunrises, and unexpected clarity. Back in South Africa, I started going for a walk every single day. One day turned into two… which turned into a habit… which turned into a non-negotiable. Today marks Day 1888 of #walkingeverydamnday. And while those walks once included giraffes, zebras, and the occasional wildebeest (yep, really), these days, my wildlife encounters look a little...
