How Coaches and Consultants Can Lead Growth in an AI-Driven Market — Podcast

What if the biggest growth opportunity in coaching right now isn't about getting more clients — it's about seeing three market forces converging right in front of you, and most coaches are completely missing it? [PAUSE] Right now, the coaching and consulting industry is at an inflection point. Leaders are cracking under pressure, organizations are failing to capture AI's value, and professionals everywhere are reframing adversity as a growth tool. These aren't separate trends — they're one massive signal. And if you're running a practice, this week's market activity is telling you exactly where to position yourself next. [PAUSE] First — Wales rugby coach Steve Tandy just gave every leadership coach a live case study. When tense pay negotiations between players and Welsh Rugby Union executives forced a press conference cancellation, Tandy kept his team locked in. Reuters confirmed there was "no hangover" — full focus, Saturday match against Fiji, done. That's compartmentalization under pressure. And here's the thing — that exact skill is what your clients are desperately paying for right now. Leaders who can separate internal conflict from forward momentum are the ones who win. That gap between where your clients are and where they need to be? That's your growth lane. [PAUSE] Second — Forbes writer Bryan Robinson just profiled John Howell, a senior U.S. Army officer who built over 70,000 Instagram followers teaching one core idea: your most demanding boss might be your greatest teacher. The reframe from adversity as obstacle to adversity as accelerant isn't niche coaching anymore — it's mainstream demand. B2B consultants who package resilience frameworks and performance psychology into clear, scalable programs are capturing serious market share right now. [PAUSE] Third — and this one is staggering. A report highlighted by International Business Times found industries most exposed to AI saw approximately three times higher revenue-per-employee growth than those least exposed. Three times. But most organizations still can't capture that value. Why? According to Brody Billings, the barrier isn't the technology — it's human execution. As Rita Broussard of Unlimited Global Ventures, LLC puts it, the coaches who win are the ones seeing patterns in what the market is already struggling with. AI adoption is a people problem. That makes it your problem to solve. [PAUSE] Here's your action item for today. Pick ONE of these three angles — pressure leadership, adversity reframing, or AI adoption coaching — and write a single LinkedIn post this week positioning yourself as the expert in that space. Don't overthink it. The market is already asking the question. You just need to show up with the answer. [PAUSE] Read the full article on the Midas blog at agentmidas.xyz.
