My AI Policy & Commitment to You
How I use artificial intelligence in my practice — and the boundaries I hold to protect your trust.
Transparency is a core value in my practice. As AI tools become increasingly present in the professional world, I believe it is important to be open and honest about how — and how not — I use them. This page sets out my approach clearly, so you always know exactly what to expect when working with me.
My AI Philosophy
I believe AI is a powerful productivity and research co-pilot — a tool that, when used thoughtfully, can enhance the quality of the support I provide you. However, I hold firmly to one non-negotiable principle: the human is always in the loop.
Every piece of insight, guidance, strategy, or content that reaches you has been reviewed, shaped, and approved by me personally. AI assists my thinking — it does not replace it. The expertise, judgement, and professional accountability in our working relationship are mine, and mine alone.
Human-Led
Every output is reviewed and validated by me before it reaches you. AI informs; I decide.
Research Support
I use AI to support research, explore ideas, and stay current — not to generate advice on autopilot.
Productivity Tool
AI helps me work more efficiently so I can focus more of my time and energy on you and your goals.
How I Use AI in My Practice
AI tools may support me in activities such as:
-
✓Researching labour market trends, industry insights, and career development best practice to ensure my knowledge remains current and well-informed
-
✓Drafting and refining content for social media posts, articles, and educational resources — all of which I review, edit, and personally approve before publishing
-
✓Exploring frameworks and ideas that inform the coaching strategies I develop with clients
-
✓Improving the clarity and quality of my written communications and resources
Your Data Is Never Shared With AI
This is an absolute and unwavering commitment: I do not input your personal information, conversations, or any client data into AI tools. Ever.
Your coaching sessions, career history, personal circumstances, and any information you share with me in confidence remains strictly between us. I do not use AI to process, analyse, summarise, or store client information — nor do I use any automated AI workflows that could cause your data to pass through a third-party system without your explicit, informed consent.
In plain terms: what you share with me stays with me. I use AI only as a background productivity tool for my own work — never as a means of processing or handling your personal information.
No Automated AI Responses
When you receive communication from me — whether that is a coaching session, an email, a resource, or a piece of written feedback — it comes from me. I do not use AI to automatically generate or send responses on my behalf, and I do not use AI-powered chatbots or automated messaging in place of genuine human contact.
You deserve a real relationship with your career coach, and I am committed to providing exactly that.
Understanding AI Limitations
I am fully aware that AI tools have significant limitations. One of the most important to understand is the phenomenon known as "hallucination" — where an AI model generates information that sounds plausible and authoritative but is factually inaccurate or entirely fabricated.
Because of this, I never take AI-generated content at face value. Any information, statistic, or claim produced with the assistance of AI is critically assessed, cross-referenced with credible sources, and verified before I act on it or share it with you. My professional judgement and knowledge form the filter through which all AI output passes.
Trained in AI Discernment
I have completed a certified course delivered by Anthropic — the AI safety company behind Claude — focused specifically on understanding, evaluating, and critically discerning AI outputs. This training underpins my approach to responsible AI use and ensures I engage with these tools from a position of informed, critical awareness rather than uncritical reliance.
