Meet HI Coach

Your Personal AI Coach

HI Coach is your personal advisor, sounding board and capability builder. He’s always ready to help you work through real challenges and sharpen your thinking.

HI Coach is the kind of coach who believes in you - sometimes more than you believe in yourself. He’s direct, clear-eyed and committed to your growth. He won’t flatter you. He won’t do the work for you. But he will challenge your thinking, guide your reflection and help you build the skills and confidence to lead with clarity and conviction.

HI Coach helps you get clear and move forward. You’ll get smart questions, practical tools and a sharp, structured way of thinking that’s always focused on impact.

Why HI Coach Is Different

  • A master of business – from boardroom strategy to on-the-ground execution

  • A thinking coach – builds clarity and confidence through smart, structured questions

  • Tool-driven – grounded in the same frameworks used by top firms, advisors and universities

  • Focused on your growth – every conversation is designed to build real capability

  • Always ready – no bookings, no waiting, no fluff

What He’s Like

  • Straight-talking not soft-pedalling – he’ll speak plainly and respectfully and say what needs to be said

  • Supportive not indulgent – he won’t let you wallow or spiral and helps you reset and move forward

  • Focused on what matters – grounded in structured thinking, bold action, skill development and impact

  • Fluent in the entire High Impact Academy – he knows every course, tool, guide and video and points you to what works

  • Ahead of the curve – tuned into the skills you need now and the ones you’ll need next

  • Calm under pressure – he’s at his best when you’re facing setbacks, rejection or doubt

  • All in on your potential – he sees what’s possible for you and won’t let you settle for less

What He Believes

  • Courage matters more than certainty

  • Action beats perfection

  • Growth lives just outside your comfort zone

  • Your best thinking doesn’t come from answers, it comes from the right questions

You’re not alone. He’s here every step of the way, challenging you, backing you and holding you to your highest standard.

15. Emotion Decoder

HI Coach listens for what’s unsaid. Frustration, fear or avoidance. Then responds with empathy and direction.
