78. The Evolution of Coaching & the Rise of AI Ft. Julie Parker
The coaching industry is at a crossroads. With AI attracting many especially the vulnerable to replace human connection and bias showing up in new, digital forms, how do we stay grounded in what makes us fundamentally human?
Today's guest, Julie Parker, has been watching these shifts unfold for over two decades. As the founder of The Beautiful You Coaching Academy, she's trained thousands of coaches worldwide while navigating her own profound awakening about racism, privilege and the responsibility that comes with influence.
From a childhood in rural Australia to confronting uncomfortable truths about diversity in her own industry, Julie's story is both deeply personal and urgently relevant.
As a racial equity coach, I believe that racism is a beast that evolves, one that shape-shifts and adapts to each era we live in. And I see AI bias as its latest form, "the new era of racism." Today Julie and I explore this connection, why being human-centric coaches has never been more critical, and what it really means to stay with the messy, uncertain spaces that only humans can navigate.
You’ll hear:
- How Julie’s journey from rural Australia to industry leadership shaped her lens on privilege, responsibility and repair.
- Why bias now hides in digital tools, and what that means for everyday coaching choices.
- Practical ways to stay human first while using AI without outsourcing your judgement or care.
