Nadia's Thursday, Two Ways

Nadia, an executive coach working with senior leaders at a growing health company.

Nadia starts Thursday at 7:40 with coffee and three client sessions ahead. Her first client, Ravi, a VP of Operations, is preparing for a tense meeting with a peer. She opens ChatGPT, pastes her notes from their last session, and asks for a focused session plan with three questions and a short summary format. The draft gives her a clean agenda, so she adds one question about what Ravi wants the peer to feel afterward.

After the session, she uses Claude to shape feedback for Elena, a new director who talks over her team in meetings. Nadia gives the AI a few anonymized examples and asks for feedback that is direct, kind, and tied to a goal. She keeps one line, rewrites another, and saves the rest for their next conversation.

At lunch, she works on a 360 review for Marcus, a senior leader whose peers say he moves too fast. She uses Gemini to group the multi-rater comments into themes and draft a debrief outline. The themes help her see a pattern she might have missed, and she plans to ask Marcus what he notices before offering her view.

By 4:30, Nadia uses ChatGPT to draft two client emails and a short session recap, then reviews each one for tone and privacy. She checks her notes, closes her laptop, and leaves while it is still light. The time won back goes to a long walk with her dog and dinner with her partner, no coaching notes at the table.
