Introducing AI-Driven Coach Matching at AIIR Consulting

AIIR Consulting is thrilled to announce an advancement in our commitment to delivering best-in-class executive coaching services — AI-Driven Coach Matching. This update combines the power of artificial intelligence with our expertise to elevate our coach matching process to unparalleled heights.

The Power of AI + Human Experience and Expertise

The quality of your leaders matters. So, too, does the quality of the people coaching and developing your leaders.

The AIIR® Global Alliance is a worldwide network of more than 200 executive coaches and consultants that spans six continents. With advanced education, certification, and real-world executive experience across industries, AIIR’s coaches and consultants bring a depth of understanding and a breadth of experience that is unmatched in the industry.

Our new AI-Driven coach matching process empowers us to analyze nearly 60 data points to ensure we match each leader with the right coach to meet their individual needs and ensure a transformative coaching experience.

How It Works

Upon completing a coaching request form, our advanced AI technology searches our extensive coach pool, leveraging sophisticated proprietary algorithms to find the best matches. This technological enhancement significantly increases the efficiency and accuracy of our matches.

AIIR’s Head of Executive Coaching, Megan Marshall, and AIIR’s Head of Leadership Excellence, Holly Teska, bring over 50 years of combined experience in coach matching. They understand that the coach/coachee relationship is critical for effective coaching outcomes, and lead a team of experts that review these AI-generated matches, bringing their extensive experience and expert guidance into the final selection process. This blend of technology and human expertise ensures that our clients receive personalized attention and the best possible coaching experience.

The Art and Science of Coach Matching

Coach matching is both an art and a science at AIIR. We carefully consider every aspect of a coaching engagement to pair clients with coaches who have the relevant industry and career experience. We also track the performance of our coaches to continually refine our matching process.

Key Considerations in Coach Matching:

• Nature of the Engagement.

Long-term engagements require established coaches with whom we have long standing relationships. Complex engagements need flexible, adaptable coaches with strong customer orientation.

• Type of Engagement.

Group facilitation requires distinct skills from 1-1 coaching. We ensure the right fit based on the specific needs.

• Seniority of Leader.

C-Level leaders often want coaches with gravitas and experience at similar levels.

• Client Risk Profile.

Clients in distress require coaches who specialize in helping at-risk leaders.

• Importance of Industry Knowledge.

Some industries benefit from specific expertise for credibility and effective coaching.

• Coach Track Record with AIIR.

AIIR closely monitors the performance of coaches and only retains the very best. And, with every engagement our coaches complete, we are continually collecting data points that will help us match them with the right coachee.
