If you're here, you probably wear many hats: coach, trainer, facilitator, psychologist, entrepreneur, admin, and, on occasion, reluctant tech troubleshooter. This is your monthly, semi-comprehensive guide to using tech in your coaching practice, minus the overwhelming jargon.

My goal? To help you discover and implement tools that make your coaching practice smoother, smarter, and more efficient.

Ready to dive in? Let's go. 🚀

1️⃣ Tech Stack Spotlight

How to Choose the Right AI Tool (Not Just the Flashy One)

You don't need all the AI tools. You just need one that quietly saves your time without frying your brain.

Let's be real: the AI gold rush has coaches signing up for seventeen tools, trying none properly, and still staring at the same blank page or cluttered to-do list.

So this week, we're not spotlighting a tool. We're spotlighting a system for picking the right one for you.

✅ Step 1: Name the Bottleneck

Start with your real friction point not someone else’s fancy use case.

What’s actually slowing you down right now?

🧠 Step 2: Match the Tool to How You Think

Pick based on interface comfort not what’s trending.

You’re more likely to use it if it feels natural.

​
🔐 Step 3: Check Privacy Before You Commit

If you’re using AI in your coaching business, especially with client-facing material:

• Look for tools that don’t auto-train on your data
• Prefer tools with export/download options
• Bonus if they’re GDPR compliant (hello, EU-based clients)

🧪 Step 4: The 15-Minute Litmus Test

Use the tool for 15 minutes. Then ask: 🕒 “Did this save me more time than it took to learn?”

If yes → keep using it.
If no → close tab, move on.

2️⃣ Workflow Hacks

Create Your Coach HQ

One simple place. All your most-used links. No more digital hide-and-seek. As your offers, client docs, and resources grow, so does the chaos: that one proposal file you can never find, the booking link buried in an old email, or the client welcome guide you uploaded somewhere 🙃

Now? I've created a lightweight Coach Headquarters: a single doc (Google Doc, Apple Notes, or even a bookmarked folder) that holds:

• My calendar/booking link
• Lead magnet URLs
• Client onboarding docs
• Current program links
• Feedback/testimonial form
• Payment page(s)

✨ Think of it as your digital desk drawer: tidy, central, and ready whenever someone says: "Can you send me that link?"

3️⃣ Ask Siri (No, Not That One) 😉

🧠 Q: "I have so many ideas for content, lead magnets, and offers... but they're all over the place. How do I store them so they don't vanish, but also don't distract me from what I'm working on right now?" — Idea Avalanche, Ireland​
​

A: Welcome to the Coach Mind Palace. Overflowing with gold, but no floor plan.

Here's what helped me: I created an "Idea Parking Lot." It's a simple folder or doc where I brain-dump everything:

• Future lead magnet titles
• Hooks for posts
• Offer tweaks or experiment ideas
• Random "what if I..." thoughts

✨ I don't organize them when I park them. The key is to get them out of my head and out of my way without deleting them.

This is my incubator, my holding place.

4️⃣ Totally Useless, But Kinda Cool

Ask Google to "Do a Barrel Roll"

Sometimes, all you need is a little whimsy. Head to Google and type in "do a barrel roll." Watch your screen literally spin 360° as it performs a digital barrel roll.

It's not going to help you organize your to-do list, but it’ll make you smile. Who doesn’t need a little fun in their workday? 🤸‍♀️💻

That’s a Wrap! 🚀

Thanks for reading this edition of Not a Tech Wizard, Just a Coach. I hope it made your techy to-do list feel a little lighter (and maybe even fun?).

Got a tech tangle or workflow snag you want untangled? Hit reply and tell me, I might feature it in the next edition.

Until then, happy coaching (and light tinkering). 💻✨
