Have a Executive Onboarding with Lena Schmidt

Lena Schmidt

Employee Conversation

Support insecure employees.

Lena has been part of the team for six months and delivers technically sound work. However, she frequently seeks confirmation, even for routine tasks. Yesterday, she asked you three times to review a standard analysis, despite having completed it ten times before. This morning at 8:47 AM, she wrote to you: "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I understood the meeting minutes correctly. Could you explain it again?" Colleagues are complaining: "We constantly have to validate Lena's work. It's slowing us all down." Two weeks ago, you provided her with positive feedback, to which she responded, "Oh, that was nothing special." You have scheduled a meeting with her for today at 3:00 PM.

AI Coaching for Sustainable Leadership Development

Our AI coaching combines the benefits of traditional coaching—such as personalized feedback and a safe learning environment—with the scalability and accessibility of modern AI technology. Your leaders practice real conversation scenarios and systematically enhance their skills.

AI Coaching with emotional intelligence instead of rigid chatbots.

Our AI coaching leverages voice-first technology for authentic conversation simulations. The AI characters respond emotionally like real employees: defensive in the face of criticism, vulnerable when met with empathy, and open under good leadership. Your managers engage naturally with the AI—no typing, no artificial chat interactions.

Echte Sprachgespräche mit Speech-to-Text statt Text-Chat – so natürlich wie echte Mitarbeitergespräche

Emotionale Audio-Modulation: KI passt Sprechtempo, Stimmlage und Pausen an die Gesprächssituation an

3-Phasen-Dynamik: Von defensiv über verletzlich zu lösungsorientiert – abhängig von eurer Führung

Die KI erkennt euren Tonfall, Pausen und Gesprächsführung in Echtzeit

AI Coaching with emotional intelligence instead of rigid chatbots.

Instant AI coaching feedback after every conversation.

After each AI coaching session, you will receive a detailed performance analysis: What went well? Where did you interrupt? Which trigger words elicited defensive reactions? The AI analyzes both your specific conversational techniques and general leadership competencies such as active listening and empathy.

Detaillierte Gesprächsanalyse mit konkreten Verbesserungsvorschlägen und Timestamps

Scoring-System: Szenario-Performance (70%) + Baseline-Skills (30%) = Gesamtscore von 10

Anti-Pattern-Erkennung: Automatische Hinweise bei Vorwürfen, Unterbrechungen oder erzwungenen Lösungen

Konkrete Beispiele: 'Minute 3:45 – Du hast unterbrochen, als der Charakter verletzlich wurde'

Instant AI coaching feedback after every conversation.

50+ AI coaching characters for every leadership situation.

Our AI coaching features over 50 scientifically grounded characters based on the Myers-Briggs model. From the conflict-averse perfectionist to the passive-aggressive senior and the emotionally charged team player, each character has unique triggers, behavior patterns, and success factors.

16+ MBTI-Persönlichkeitstypen mit authentischen Reaktionsmustern in schwierigen Gesprächen

Diverse Konflikttypen: Introvertiert vs. Extrovertiert, Direkt vs. Indirekt, Hierarchie-sensibel vs. Egalitär

Verschiedene Karrierestufen: Junior mit Orientierungslosigkeit, Mid-Level mit Überlastung, Senior mit Veränderungsangst

Charakter-spezifische Trigger: Was eskaliert das Gespräch? Was öffnet den Charakter?

50+ AI coaching characters for every leadership situation.

Personalized AI coaching recommendations for continuous development.

Our AI coaching analyzes your individual performance and specifically suggests the next training scenarios. If your scores in conflict conversations are low, the AI automatically recommends additional de-escalation scenarios. This way, each leader can develop at their own pace, focusing on personal weaknesses.

Adaptive Lernpfade: KI analysiert Performance-Muster und identifiziert Skill-Gaps automatisch

Personalisierte Empfehlungen: 'Deine Scores bei Kritikgesprächen sind niedrig – wir empfehlen 3 weitere Szenarien'

Progress-Tracking: Verbesserung über Zeit sichtbar machen, Meilensteine feiern

FAQs

How does AI coaching differ from traditional executive coaching?
Classic coaching is valuable for strategic reflection and personal development, but it is limited by availability and cost (€5,000-15,000 per year). Our AI Coaching perfectly complements this: your leaders practice specific conversation scenarios, receive immediate feedback, and can repeat sessions unlimitedly—for just €480 per year. AI Coaching does not replace human reflection; rather, it provides practical skill training between human coaching sessions.
What leadership situations can I train with AI coaching?
The AI Coaching covers all critical leadership conversations: discussions addressing performance issues, feedback sessions for constructive input, mediation of conflicts between team members, development talks for career planning, motivational discussions during crises, delegation conversations for effective task assignment, conducting termination discussions professionally, and remote leadership for virtual teams. In total, there are 14 types of conversations with over 50 specific scenarios.
How realistic are the AI coaching conversations?
Extremely realistic due to three factors: Voice-First technology (real conversations instead of chat), emotional audio modulation (stress conveyed through faster pacing, defensiveness through fragmented sentences, vulnerability through a softer voice), and dynamic responses (the AI rewards good leadership with openness and punishes poor leadership with resistance). Leaders consistently report that the conversations are emotionally challenging—just like in real work environments.
Can AI coaching fully replace human coaches?
No, and that is not the goal. AI coaching is perfect for practical skill training (such as conversation techniques, response patterns, and de-escalation), while human coaches remain irreplaceable for strategic reflection, personal development, and emotional support. The ideal combination: monthly human coaching for big questions, and weekly AI coaching for practical training in specific situations.
How long does a KI coaching session last?
A single AI coaching session lasts 15-25 minutes—short enough to fit between meetings, yet long enough for meaningful learning. For sustainable success, we recommend 2-3 sessions per week over a period of 6-8 weeks. This approach allows your leaders to systematically practice various conversation types and develop lasting leadership skills. Unlimited repetitions are available.
How does AI Coaching measure my progress?
The AI coaching tracks your progress on multiple levels: performance scores per conversation (0-10 points), improvement over time (8-week trend), skill-specific development (active listening, empathy, conversation management), completion rate (how many scenarios were successfully completed?), and anti-pattern reduction (are you still making the same mistakes?). You will clearly see where you are improving and where there is room for growth.
Is AI coaching beneficial for experienced leaders?
Absolutely. Even experienced leaders have blind spots or entrenched patterns. AI coaching provides a safe space to explore new approaches without jeopardizing real employee relationships. This is particularly valuable for training in previously unexperienced situations (e.g., first termination conversations for newly promoted managers) or refreshing skills for infrequently conducted discussions (salary negotiations, conflict mediation).
Can I use AI coaching to train on company-specific situations?
Yes, with the Scenario Builder, you can create custom AI coaching scenarios based on your company values, leadership guidelines, and typical situations. You can model your own characters to match your real employee profiles, ensuring that the AI coaching trains precisely the conversations your leaders need to engage in daily.
How quickly will I see improvements from AI Coaching?
Experience your first "aha" moments after just 1-2 sessions (awareness of your own patterns), measurable improvements within 2-3 weeks (higher scores, fewer anti-patterns), and sustainable behavior change after 6-8 weeks (new conversational techniques become habitual). The advantage of AI coaching: you can reflect and adjust immediately after each conversation, rather than waiting weeks for your next human coaching session.
Is AI coaching suitable for introverted leaders?
Especially well-suited. Introverted leaders appreciate the opportunity to practice in complete privacy, without feeling vulnerable in front of colleagues or external coaches. The AI coaching is non-judgmental and provides constructive feedback. Many introverted managers report that they experiment more boldly and make faster progress in this risk-free environment than in group seminars.
How does AI coaching differ from executive seminars?
Executive seminars provide theory and frameworks (e.g., nonviolent communication, feedback models), but offer limited practical application. AI Coaching, on the other hand, focuses on maximum practice through real conversations, immediate feedback, and unlimited repetitions. The ideal combination is a seminar for foundational theory, followed by AI Coaching for practical implementation. This transforms knowledge into genuine competence.
