The future is here…and it’s pretty awesome.
Since AI tools like ChatGPT first appeared in late 2022, millions of people are using them creatively to automate mundane tasks, produce original content, improve their productivity, and even grow their businesses.
But what can AI tools like ChatGPT do for coaches?
Short answer: probably more than you can imagine.
All it takes is a few simple adjustments (and the right kind of incentive) and ChatGPT serves as your 24/7 expert assistant, specializing in coaching in psychology, nutrition science, marketing, and more.
In the resources below, we’ll show you how to use ChatGPT to increase your coaching and client attraction capabilities.
Get started with ChatGPT
Simply follow the steps below to…
- Get started with ChatGPT in less than 60 seconds (if you’re just starting out).
- Configure ChatGPT in a way that is tailored to you as a coach and gives you better results every time (it only takes about 10 seconds).
- Start experimenting with ChatGPT to generate nutrition, coaching, and marketing resources in minutes instead of hours.
Step 1. Set up your free ChatGPT account (if you haven’t already).
Go to chat.openai.com and click “Register”. Enter your login information to create a new account.
Step 2. Use “Personalized Instructions” to turn ChatGPT into your personal coaching and marketing assistant.
Custom Instructions are an easy way to guide ChatGPT to understand the type of answers you’re looking for and the best way to provide you with those answers.
These instructions also help tailor ChatGPT’s writing and communication style and areas of expertise.
How to set up custom instructions on ChatGPT
Once logged in to ChatGPT, click on the little ellipsis (…) in the lower left corner next to your username.
A small window will appear. Click on “Custom Instructions”.
This dialog window will appear:
Now add your instructions. To help, we’ve created our own set of personalized instructions (below) that we use for ChatGPT to provide us with the best coaching, nutrition, and marketing answers.
So feel free to copy and paste what we use for yourself (see below).
Of course, you can modify our instructions to suit your situation and/or enter your own personalized instructions from scratch.
Personalized Instructions for Chat GPT
Simply copy and paste the text provided.
► For box 1 (“What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better answers”):
I am a specialist nutrition and fitness coach for people who have struggled their whole lives with their eating and movement habits. My clients often don’t prioritize their health and wellness (for a multitude of reasons) and, for many years, have tried « quick fixes » and fads to implement change, only to realize that shortcuts don’t work in the long run.
► For box 2 (“How would you like Chat GPT to respond?”):
You are my seasoned mentor and world-class health coach. You should call me (NAME). I would like you to have opinions. Give me examples to explain your point of view. Help me find creative solutions for finding and working with clients. Suggest things that you think would help me become a better health coach. If you don’t know the answer to something, say « I don’t know » and offer a suggestion for how I might find out or how I might think about the problem. Do NOT make up answers. When responding to me directly, your tone should be casual. When answering my questions about how I should respond to a coaching client via social media or email, your tone should be conversational but very professional (and be light on adjectives and adverbs). When I ask for your help writing articles and website content for my coaching business, I want you to use a writing style that uses sentences that are conversational, short, witty, and intelligent (but not over-the-top) . You can also use easy-to-understand analogies and metaphors to help you make a point or illustrate something. Don’t tell me about your knowledge limit if it’s still September 2021.
Step 3. Start experimenting.
This is where the magic happens.
ChatGPT’s capabilities are virtually endless when it comes to producing nutritional resources for your clients, providing assistance in coaching situations, and generating unique marketing content.
To help you get started, we’ve created some prompts for different scenarios below. This way you can see the tool in action and have a starting point for your own prompts. (ChatGPT allows us to share links to a specific chat with you, allowing you to view it and add to it.)
In each example prompt we link to below, you can click the link to go directly to our chat history on ChatGPT. There you will see how we interacted with ChatGPT and also view the responses provided by ChatGPT.
In the chat link, you will see your prompts next to this icon:
And you will see ChatGPT responses next to this icon:
After clicking each prompt below, you can do one or more of the following…
- Just read it to see ChatGPT’s incredible capabilities in action.
- Click “Continue this conversation” at the bottom of the screen, if you want to continue testing the prompt:
- Copy the prompts and adapt them to your specific situation
Example ChatGPT prompts for coaches
► Prompt 1: Help a Busy CEO with Meal and Recipe Planning.
► Prompt 2: Giving a Client High-Protein Snack Ideas.
► Prompt 3: Answering a customer’s questions about the Zone Matrixt.
► Prompt 4: Supporting a diabetic client.
► Prompt 5: Help a client struggling with negative self-talk.
► Prompt 6: Write an email series to help nurture potential customers.
Now it’s your turn…
The examples above only scratch the surface of the ways you can use AI to boost your coaching business.
What areas of your coaching business could use help? Conversations with customers? Answer difficult questions? Attract customers? Create social media posts?
Take the time to write down your current challenges, then start experimenting with ways to get ChatGPT to help you with each one.
It takes a little experimentation at first, but as you learn the ropes, you’ll start to see how much time, effort, and energy this AI tool can save you.
Thousands of coaches in our community have already experienced this, and they are starting to realize it…
AI-powered coaching is the future of coaching.
There is no doubt in our mind that AI will play a vital role in health, fitness and nutrition coaching in the future.
That’s why we’re bringing together these resources to help you harness its power, save tons of time, and give your clients a much better coaching experience than ever before.
