Artificial Intelligence or Intelligent Action?

You’ve heard of artificial intelligence (AI)? I call AI someone who thinks they can achieve greatness and make great strides by creating a flurry of activity and throwing a whole lot of energy at a vague goal. This not only exhausts them, but also causes an imbalance elsewhere in their lives, which can create more exhaustion just to set right. Coaching turns this around to IA (Intelligent Action). In the coaching process you get clear on an end state that you want to achieve, one that you can realistically accomplish within a defined timeframe. We build a plan for getting there and work together to see it through. Each week you get closer and closer by taking on only actions that you can handle. Incremental change. New habits. Big results.
