AI Use Statement

At AP Executive Solutions LLC (Executive Coaching with Alex Pearlman), I believe in thoughtfully embracing technology to enhance the coaching experience. This AI Use Statement explains how I use artificial intelligence tools in my practice, how I protect your information, and the choices available to you.


My Philosophy on AI in Coaching

I view AI as a powerful tool that enhances—never replaces—human judgment, intuition, and connection. AI helps me:

  • Spend more time on high-value coaching conversations and less on administrative tasks

  • Identify patterns and themes that might otherwise go unnoticed

  • Prepare more thoroughly for sessions

  • Create better resources and frameworks for clients

  • Deliver greater value within our time and resource constraints

I call this approach "hybrid intelligence"—the combination of human expertise and AI capabilities to serve you better.


How I Use AI in My Coaching Practice

Session Preparation and Analysis

I use AI tools (primarily Claude by Anthropic and Google Gemini) to:

  • Review session notes and prepare agendas

  • Analyze patterns and themes across our work together

  • Research relevant frameworks, strategies, or resources for your specific situation

  • Prepare thoughtful questions and coaching approaches

In-Session Collaboration

With your knowledge and consent, I may use AI tools during our coaching sessions to:

  • Explore ideas together in real-time

  • Generate frameworks or models collaboratively

  • Brainstorm solutions or strategies

  • Provide immediate access to relevant information or perspectives

Before using AI during any session, I will inform you and give you the opportunity to decline. You maintain full control over whether AI is used in this way.

Administrative and Content Creation

I use AI tools for:

  • Scheduling, follow-ups, and administrative tasks

  • Drafting emails and correspondence

  • Creating blog posts, articles, frameworks, and downloadable resources

  • Developing marketing materials and thought leadership content

When creating public content, I may draw on themes, patterns, and insights from coaching work. All client-specific information is anonymized before being processed by AI tools, and the final published content contains no identifying information without your explicit written consent.

Recording and Transcription

I use Fathom Video's AI-powered transcription service to record and transcribe coaching sessions (with your consent). This allows me to:

  • Focus fully on our conversation rather than note-taking

  • Review sessions for accuracy and deeper insights

  • Identify patterns over time

  • Ensure I follow through on commitments

Session recordings and transcripts are stored by Fathom Video in accordance with their privacy policy and security practices.


AI Tools I Use

I primarily use the following AI tools that may process information related to our coaching engagement:

  • Claude (Anthropic) – AI assistant for analysis, content creation, and in-session collaboration

  • Google Gemini – AI assistant for research and content development

  • Fathom Video – AI-powered meeting transcription and note-taking

  • Descript – Video editing and transcription

  • CoachUI – Coaching platform with integrated AI features

  • Google Workspace – Email and documents with AI-enhanced features

  • Zoom – Video conferencing with AI features

I use paid, professional, or enterprise versions of these tools where client information may be processed. These versions provide enhanced data protection and ensure your information is not used to train public AI models.


How I Protect Your Information

Data Anonymization

When using AI tools to create marketing content, develop frameworks, or generate resources, I anonymize all client-specific information before it is processed by AI systems. This means:

  • Names (yours, your company, colleagues) are removed or changed

  • Identifying details about your organization or situation are generalized

  • Specific circumstances are made composite or generic

The only exception is when you have provided explicit written consent for your information to be used (such as through our Case Study Consent Form).

Secure AI Platforms

I use paid/professional versions of AI tools that:

  • Do not use your data to train public AI models

  • Provide enhanced security and data protection measures

  • Comply with applicable privacy regulations

  • Are operated by reputable companies with strong privacy commitments

Confidentiality

All AI-assisted work adheres to the same confidentiality standards as outlined in our Professional Services Agreement. Using AI tools does not diminish my commitment to protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of our coaching relationship.

Human Oversight

All AI outputs receive human review and judgment. I am responsible for:

  • Verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of AI-generated content

  • Ensuring AI suggestions align with your goals and values

  • Maintaining the quality and integrity of our coaching work

  • Making final decisions about coaching approaches and recommendations


AI is a tool, not a decision-maker. My professional expertise, ethical judgment, and commitment to your success guide every aspect of our work together.


Your Choices and Control

Opting Out of Recording/Transcription

You may opt out of session recording and AI transcription at any time. If you choose to opt out:

  • I may take handwritten or typed notes during sessions

  • I may still use AI tools for session preparation and follow-up work based on my anonymized notes

This will not affect the quality of our coaching relationship

Limiting AI Use

If you prefer to limit AI use in other aspects of your coaching engagement:

  • You can request that I not use AI tools for analyzing your specific session notes

  • You can decline in-session AI collaboration

  • You can request that your anonymized information not be used for content creation

Please discuss your preferences with me, and I will work with you to find an approach that respects your comfort level while allowing me to serve you effectively.

Full AI Opt-Out

If you prefer that I not use any AI tools in connection with your coaching engagement, please let me know. While this may limit certain aspects of my coaching approach, I will work with you to find alternative methods that meet your needs.


Transparency and Questions

I am committed to transparency about my use of AI in coaching. If you have questions about:

  • How AI is being used in your specific engagement

  • What information has been processed by AI tools

  • How your data is being protected

  • Your options for limiting or opting out of AI use

Please contact me at info@pearlman.coach. I welcome open dialogue about AI and will work with you to ensure you feel comfortable and informed.


Evolving Standards

AI technology and best practices are rapidly evolving. I am committed to:

  • Staying informed about AI ethics, data protection, and industry best practices

  • Regularly reviewing and updating my AI tools and practices

  • Adjusting my approach based on emerging standards and client feedback

  • Being transparent about any significant changes to how I use AI

This AI Use Statement will be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes in my practice or technology.
