"Show them the doors that they didn’t know existed." - Paul Jun, on Mentor Programs, The Impresario

When we hear that technology may replace 40% of jobs in the next 20 years, we can’t help but fear how that will impact our work – and our clients face similar fears.
But we can’t afford to bury our heads in the sand and proclaim that technology could “never replace coaching or resume writing.” We’re starting to see applications already of how AI can execute certain aspects of our work.
The more fruitful approach for us and our clients is to look at the technology coming into our field and ask a few key questions:
|
|
|
- How can I use it to improve my services or business operations?
- What will that give me time to do that adds value in a way technology cannot?
- How can I communicate the value of what I do in working with technology?
When we are proposing services to clients today – especially organizations – they are going to expect us to communicate our additive value to the technology they are using, not why what we do is better than using the technology.
To do this, we need to be intimately familiar with what the technology does so we can communicate its value while outlining the additive value our services bring.
If we discount the technology, we run the risk of sounding defensive or out of touch.
What technologies are you seeing come into your work?
Have you met Career Coach Bob of CiCi the career chatbot?
We’d love to introduce you to them and take a deeper look at what technology means for career services providers. Join the conversation next week during our first Tech Jam!
I look forward to seeing you there.
