Why coaches are afraid of Chat GPT.

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0400

This week we’re diving into a topic that might make some coaches slightly nervous: Chat GPT.

Now we totally understand why you might be nervous about giving Chat GPT a go; it’s natural to feel uneasy about new technologies, especially when they promise to be the next big thing. Still, we want you to get curious and raise your awareness because this technology is here to stay.

We’ve discovered some excellent benefits to using Chat GPT in our businesses.

Chat GPT helps us work more efficiently and productively, freeing up more time serving clients and students. It also provides new insights and perspectives to help spark new ideas.
