EP 8: AI + Empathy: Coaching People, Not Just Performance with Sandra Gaviria

Sandra Gaviria

In this Coach’s Corner, our CEO, Dan McCann, sat down with Sandra Gaviria, currently a language coach for an offshoring company with a background in education and curriculum development, to explore how personalized coaching, AI, and human connection can help people apply skills more effectively and continue improving.

Together, they dive into:

  • The difference between teaching and coaching, and why effective coaching requires adapting development to each individual’s needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • How coaching should be tailored depending on the employees’ roles, departments, and specific responsibilities.
  • How AI-powered call analysis helps identify specific skill gaps, score performance against defined criteria, and give coaches actionable insights for one-on-one development.
  • How building a safe, trusting environment allows coaching to go beyond technical skills and create space for meaningful conversations, personal growth, and continuous development.
