[AnneLondon at aol.com]

Hi everyone,

This is the plain text version of a newsletter I have sent out announcing the 
AIP May issue – a special issue on AI and Coaching.   In it you'll find a 
great range of ways people are using AI in coaching and combining it with other 
methodologies.

Enjoy!

Anne

Appreciative Inquiry in Coaching: Exploration and Learnings
Guest editors Barbara Sloan and Trudy Canine

This issue focuses on AI Coaching – the guest editors describe this process 
as a co-creative partnership between the client, the Coach and the clients' 
relevant social system. The articles illuminate the many ways in which AI Coach 
practitioners are using AI in their work and combining it with other schools of 
coaching or using it to support larger change initiatives.

SECTION 1: FOUNDATIONS
Social Construction in AI Coaching & Overview of Inquiry about AI in Coaching

The lead article explores how mindfulness of Social Construction can enhance 
coaching and the results it achieves. Next there are highlights from 
interviews with 35 coaching practitioners, blended with some of the author's own 
coaching practices.

SECTION 2: AI and OTHER COACHING APPROACHES
Similarities, Impact on Practice, Innovations and Two-Way Enhancement

The five principles of AI play a significant role in coaching, as practiced 
by all the authors and described in their articles. Articles also explore how 
coaches trained in both AI and another well developed coaching model combine 
the two.

SECTION 3: APPLICATIONS AND CASE STORIES
An internal practitioner at National Public Radio describes her work in 
relationship coaching and her work with a senior executive who now uses AI in his 
own work. AI in Coaching was part of a change initiative that transformed a 
hospital department, taking it from 'near death' to a thriving, respected 
internal operation.
