Ethical use of AI in Coaching – is it cheating?
I had just finished writing the new coaching assignment Ethical Use of AI in Coaching for our Certificate IV in Workplace and Business Coaching (11314NAT) program. The assignment requires students to analyse a transcript using an AI tool with the aim of improving the coaching.
And suddenly, the thought hit me: is this cheating?
As professional workplace coaches, we must stay ahead of industry developments. At the same time, we are deeply committed to ethical coaching practices. How do we balance both?
Join Natalie and Paula in this week’s Coaching Café as we kick off a new series exploring AI in Coaching. We’ll discuss:
✅ How AI can enhance coaching conversations
✅ Ethical considerations and boundaries in using AI
✅ Practical ways to integrate AI while maintaining professional integrity
Let’s navigate this evolving landscape together. See you there!

AI in Coaching – A Practical Demonstration
Following our thought-provoking discussion on the ethical use of AI in coaching, it’s time to take the conversation further.
Can AI really improve coaching?
Can it assess coaching conversations against the ICF Core Competencies?
Can it even coach us on a topic?
In this Coaching Café session, Natalie and Paula will move beyond theory and demonstrate AI in action. We will focus on:
✅ Using AI to enhance coaching – How AI can analyse coaching conversations and provide feedback based on ICF Core Competencies.
✅ AI as a coaching tool – Can AI hold a coaching conversation? Let’s put it to the test.
✅ What AI can’t do (yet!) – The limits of AI, why it won’t replace human coaches.
This session will be practical, interactive, and thought-provoking, giving you firsthand experience of AI’s role in coaching—while reinforcing the irreplaceable value of human connection.
Join us as we explore the possibilities… and the boundaries!

Ethics in Coaching – An Open Forum
Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored ethics in coaching through the lens of the ICF Core Competencies – not just as a checkbox for membership renewal, but as a lived practice.
We’ve explored:
✔️ Our own ethical decision-making as coaches
✔️ Stakeholder agreements & confidentiality
✔️ The ethical use of AI in coaching
Now join Natalie and Paula our final Coaching Café in this series, as we open the floor to your biggest ethical questions in coaching.
💡 What are the ethical dilemmas you’ve faced in your coaching practice?
💡 How do you navigate ethical grey areas (if any) when coaching in organisations?
💡 What questions do you have for us?
📩 Send us your questions, and let’s explore the answers together as a professional coaching community and alumni.
This is a chance to reflect, challenge, and strengthen our ethical coaching practice. Let’s make it an insightful, engaging, and valuable conversation!

- Open Door is bound by the guidelines issued by the International Coach Federation (ICF) in regards to the issuance of Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours.
- Open Door uses Zoom to track and report on attendance and you have to attend the entire 30 minute presentation (as evidence on the report) to earn the CCE.
- If you do not attend at least 30 minutes of the presentation, then the CCE cannot be awarded. This is not negotiable.
- The facilitator will log on prior to the presentation for you to check your software, and you are encouraged to log on early to make sure that your attendance will be recorded. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can hear the facilitator and see the slides.
- Open Door will not be held responsible for any reason, if you can’t attend the full session, this includes software drops outs or personal matters including ill health.
- You must attend the live session in order to achieve the CCE – you are not eligible to earn the CCE by listening to recording afterwards.
- Open Door reserves the right to change the topic, time, date or presenter as needed. We obviously try to avoid this, but sometimes it cannot be helped. Thanks for your understanding.
