AI Coaching for Managers: Personalized Coaching with AI

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

You have eight people and one evening to prepare for their 1-on-1s. AI can give each of them a coach-quality conversation — if you know how to set it up.

Most managers already use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, but only to polish emails. Coaching still happens from memory: the same questions for everyone, development plans that nobody opens after the review, career talks postponed for another quarter, hard conversations rehearsed in the shower. Meanwhile your best people quietly decide whether they have a future on your team, and generic AI answers do not help, because a blank chat knows nothing about your team, your competency model or your rules for employee data.

This course changes how you coach. You will stop improvising and start every 1-on-1 with an agenda and questions built for that one person. Each team member will get a development plan with real goals and monthly check-ins. You will walk into a difficult conversation after three practice rounds with an AI that plays your employee. Feedback from 360 reviews and surveys will turn into clear themes with evidence instead of a pile of comments. And your team will get its own AI coach for self-preparation — with boundaries everyone understands and trusts.

Your instructor is Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy with 2,000,000+ Udemy students, and the founder of PapaHR Academy, where 170,000+ students have learned. Mike has 20 years in HR and people management, including building the HR system of the unicorn Preply and working at Wargaming and iDeals. He is PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certified and represents HRCI in Eastern Europe.

The course follows one coaching cycle. First you set up a coaching assistant and decide what data about people it may see. Then you move through the cycle with one employee: 1-on-1 preparation, goals and a development plan, career options, a rehearsed hard conversation and a fair reading of feedback. Finally you scale it to the whole team: an AI coach your people can use themselves and a team agreement on privacy and human decisions.

What's included:

• Lifetime access to all materials

• Active instructor support in Q&A

• Udemy Certificate of Completion

• Practical assignments with your own team and ready-to-use templates, prompts and checklists

• A section with additional courses, tools and resources

AI coaching is quickly becoming a basic management skill. Other managers are already learning it, while those who wait keep running the same status meetings. Every month without a system is another month of unprepared 1-on-1s and plans that stay on paper.
