What happens when a professional executive coach looks at the leadership development gap and decides to do something about it at scale?
In this episode, Ewan is joined by Kirsty Bathgate, founder of Gearing for Growth and co-founder of Bravyn, an AI-powered coaching platform designed to bring meaningful leadership development to the people who need it most — early and mid-stage leaders who rarely get access to coaching at all.
Kirsty makes a compelling case: 80% of new leaders receive no formal leadership training. 70% of people who leave jobs leave their manager, not their company. And disengaged teams are costing the global economy close to a trillion dollars a year. Bravyn was built to tackle that problem head on.
But this isn't a story about replacing coaches with chatbots. Kirsty is an accredited executive coach of 15 years, and she's built Bravyn to coach — properly coach — using accredited competencies, rigorous ethics standards, and technology that asks the questions rather than hands out the answers.
In this conversation, Ewan and Kirsty cover:
- Why AI coaching done badly is making people worse at thinking for themselves
- How Bravyn personalises every coaching conversation to the individual's goals, role, and employer
- The trust and data privacy considerations that matter to HR leaders
- How organisations can measure real ROI from coaching at scale
- Kirsty's three must-ask questions before adopting any AI coaching tool
- If you're in HR, lead a growing team, or just want to understand where AI fits in the future of leadership — this one is well worth your time.
