What is private AI coaching?
Private AI coaching is one-to-one help from a real person.
Rachel works with you privately to understand where AI could fit into your working day. You can ask questions, try things and focus on the tasks that matter to you.
This is not a recorded course or a lesson delivered by an AI bot.
AI is the tool you will learn to use. Rachel is the person listening, explaining and helping you apply it to your work.
Your role. Your questions. Your pace.
You're not behind. You just need the right place to start.
Plenty of successful business people feel unsure about AI.
You may have tried ChatGPT or Copilot and wondered what all the fuss was about.
Perhaps the answers were not useful. Perhaps you were not sure what to ask. Or perhaps everyone else seemed to understand something you had missed.
You have not missed your chance.
Private coaching gives you time to slow down, ask questions and see how AI could fit into your work.
There is no jargon, no judgement and no expectation that you should already know the answers.
Is private AI coaching right for you?
This is for experienced people who want useful help without sitting through a generic course.
- You run a business and your time is stretched
- You hold a senior or specialist role
- You would rather learn privately than in a group
- You have tried AI but the results have been disappointing
- You want help with your work, not a standard demonstration
- You need to understand how to use AI responsibly
- You want to learn at your own pace
- You have questions you have not wanted to ask in public
You do not need to become an AI expert. You need a few useful ways to work better.
We start with your work, not the technology.
Before the session, Rachel asks what takes up your time and what you would like to make easier.
Rachel prepares before you meet, so the live session can focus on one clear priority.
During the session, you work through something useful together. This might involve writing, research, meetings, documents, planning or repetitive admin.
You leave with prompts, clear steps and a realistic plan for using AI again.
- Step 1
Tell Rachel what you want to make easier
A few short questions help Rachel understand your role, your tools and where your time goes.
- Step 2
Rachel prepares before you meet
Rachel reviews your answers and chooses the best place to start. This means the session is focused from the beginning.
- Step 3
Work through it privately
Spend 60 minutes working one-to-one with Rachel. Ask questions, try things and work at your own pace.
- Step 4
Leave with a better way to work
Keep the prompts, notes and practical steps created during the session so you can use them again.
Built around your work. Kept between us.
Forthfield coaching is private.
We do not name clients, describe their work or share their results without clear written permission.
We also show you what should and should not be put into an AI tool.
There is no need to upload unnecessary private or sensitive information.
- No recording unless agreed in advance
- No client information used in marketing without permission
- Clear guidance on protecting private and sensitive information
Your business stays your business.
Leave feeling capable, not overwhelmed.
You will not leave knowing everything about AI. Nobody does.
You will leave knowing how to use it more confidently in your own work.
- Recognise where AI can genuinely save you time
- Give ChatGPT or Copilot clearer instructions
- Improve and check the answers you receive
- Turn a useful prompt into repeatable steps
- Decide what AI should and should not help with
- Use your experience and judgement alongside AI
Your experience still counts. AI should support your judgement, not replace it.
