Light Dao Salon: Thriving in the Mentorship Economy (LISBON)
How Coaches & Consultants Can Remain Irreplaceable in the AI Age
If you're a coach, consultant, course creator, and/or transformation professional who wishes to position themselves at the forefront of the mentorship economy rather than competing in the increasingly AI-dominated information market, I'd say this is one of the most exciting talks for you to attend.
We'll explore why coaching ("let me show you that you can do it") and consulting ("let me show you how to do it") are being rapidly commoditized by AI tools like ChatGPT.
And why mentorship ("let me show you how I did it") is becoming the most valuable and AI-resistant approach in today's market.
During our time together, we'll explore:
Why the "mentorship economy" is replacing traditional approaches to monetizing expertise
How to leverage your lived experience—the element AI cannot replicate—to create irreplaceable value
Thoughtful strategies for evolving your practice to emphasize the human elements clients increasingly value
