Episode #61: Samiur Rahman – AI, Heyday and the Quest to Capture Meaningful Moments

This episode is sponsored by Heyday: https://heyday.xyz/New developments in artificial intelligence make the news headlines so often that many people – including coaches and their clients – are wondering just how AI advances will affect their jobs, their careers and their lives.

In this sponsored episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast, AI expert Samiur Rahman offers a rare insight into the way machine learning is shaping the future of coaching by fuelling the creation of tools that can save coaches time and improve their productivity.

Samiur is the co-founder of Heyday, an AI thought partner that helps coaches and other knowledge workers by generating automatic session notes, detecting patterns in client conversations, and aggregating information about clients.

In conversation with Robbie, Samiur opens up about the impact coaching has had on his journey through a career in which he has founded two start-ups and worked in others, and how he sought out the coaches who could bring out the very best in him.

He also describes the development process that led to Heyday’s creation, which involved careful consultation with coaches and produced revelations about the way practitioners work and their most pressing needs.

In this episode, Samiur and Robbie also talk about:

The power of coaching for new managers and founders alike

How the coaching we need changes at different stages of our careers

The ways AI and machine learning are likely to disrupt the world of work and the coaching industry (and the ways they aren’t)

What strange and admirable qualities coacheshave, from the perspective of someone who has studied them as customers.

Samiur also describes how Heyday, which offers a free two-week trial to all new sign-ups, has changed the lives and work of coaches who use it, and the impact upon their clients.
