As artificial intelligence becomes a powerful force in leadership, coaching, and consulting, it’s our responsibility—not just our opportunity—to use it wisely.
At Focused Leadership Consulting, we integrate AI to enhance human potential, not replace it. We believe in using AI tools as intelligent allies: amplifying insight, streamlining operations, and accelerating growth—without compromising ethics, intimacy, or trust.
Here’s how we commit to ethical AI use in our work with clients, partners, and organizations:
1. Transparency Over Trickery
We clearly disclose when AI has been used in communications, content creation, or analysis. We do not pass off AI-generated material as purely human-crafted—especially in emotionally charged or high-stakes interactions.
2. Consent is Crucial
We ask for explicit permission before recording or using AI-based tools in live coaching, consulting, or group settings. Clients deserve to know how their data, words, and wisdom are being captured or processed.
3. Human First, Always
AI can suggest. But the coach leads. All decision-making, insight, and care remains human-centered. We use AI to support critical thinking, not to replace it. Relationship is still the heart of transformation.
4. Bias is Real—And We Check It
AI reflects the data it’s trained on. We critically evaluate outputs for bias, distortion, or harmful generalizations—and we hold ourselves accountable for filtering and correcting them.
5. Tools That Align With Values
We choose AI tools that align with our values around privacy, security, and responsible innovation. We stay up to date on shifts in the AI landscape, and we teach our clients how to use these tools consciously.
In short: we use AI to serve the human mission—not the other way around.
Coaching is a sacred responsibility. Our use of AI should make that work clearer, cleaner, and more potent—not faster for its own sake.
If you’re a coach, consultant, or leader navigating how to use AI responsibly—I invite you to adapt this statement for your own practice. Let’s lead the way.
