Auditing the Future of Workplace Coaching

About Auditing the Future of Workplace Coaching

I am a veteran coach, deeply invested in the profession's agile evolution. Now, AI coaching chatbots are here, and I am not scared—I'm curious. My burning question: How are they trained? I want transparency into AI models to ensure safety and effectiveness. In this pivotal moment, driven by Large Language Models, I hope to spark vital discussions within the workplace coaching community. This will be a weekly podcast. The first season will focus on the future of coaching theory.

   Identity is not Purpose

   This episode opens the third section of Season 2 byseparating two ideas that are often treated as one: identity and purpose. For women leaders approaching retirement, staying busy, useful and engaged does not by itself answer the deeper question of who you are apart from the role. Theepisode explains why retirement is better understood as an identity transition than a financial event, and why the research points to identity first and purpose later. It introduces the main lenses researchers use to study this shift (process, identity, resource-based, role and meaning-making theories, and personality and values frameworks), reassures listeners that struggling to build a new identity is a predictable psychological process and not a personal failing, and closes with a short weekly exercise: look at your last three yesesand ask whether each is about who you are becoming or about avoiding the silence.

   Episode 13: Use Your Resources!

   You can know yourself inside out and still reach retirementunderprepared, because self-knowledge doesn’t build a social network or fill 2,500 newly empty hours. This episode closes the section with three exercises: the Social Convoy Map shows how much of your circle exists only because of yourworkplace, the Retirement Resource Inventory scores your health, finances, social ties and sense of self, and the Time Use Audit leads you to the dreaded blank Tuesday at 10 a.m. Your assignment is to draw the circles, score yourself, and build one honest mock Tuesday. Next up is Section 3, where we explore retirement as an identity transition. Reference Leung, C. S. Y., & Earl, J. K. (2012).

   Beware of overused strengths!

   Podcast notes: This episode explores how the Bold, Leisurely, and Excitable patterns can turn leadership strengths into transition risks during retirement, and invites listeners to identify which pattern emerges for them under stress so they can recognize and manage it early.
