How easy do you find it to describe what you do, Reader?

I am constantly in a battle with that myself.

As someone who loves to have context, and meaning in everything she writes. It's very hard to come up with pithy little explanations of how I work.

But at the same time I can't exactly go into the depths of Ecological Psychology and how it relates to coaching in a short 5 second conversation as a response to "What do you do".... in which they're expecting:

"I help X people do Y things so that they can do Z".

The above exercise is fine, and all but the what do you do question at events always feels a little bit more of a "hey look at me I did my marketing well" vs.. hey I'm genuinely interested in what you do.

It's a pattern that we repeat because goodness me communicating is tough.

I saw a post the other day and it got me thinking

not just what do I do — but how do I do it.

I know for sure I'm far from a special snowflake, a lot of people can do the implementation side of what I do for clients. It's fairly easy. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years, AI will be able to do it..

However — the reason why I do the things I do is the interesting bit.

So I started playing around with AI and allowed it to do something for me I don't usually do...

Write. stuff. for. me 😆 (no this email is still very much me...)

So I let it loose. Fed it a mix of my memory, content, questions, and context… and asked it to give me back a mirror.

Here's what it came up with:

• Support where software stops
  ​
• See what strategy skips
  ​
• Design what defaults don't.
  ​
• Catch what checklists miss.
  ​
• Notice what norms ignore.
  ​
• Build for what isn't broken.

This brought a smile to my face; as it does fairly accurately sum up how I help... if it's not a little bit... "direct" for how I usually communicate 😁

But I didn't hate what it said... it feels very manifesto-y...

Have you ever tried this with AI? Or even just tried to put into words what you really do?

I’d genuinely love to hear it.

And if you’ve been craving a space to explore those edges—

To name what’s stuck, map what matters, and move at your own rhythm…

You might really value a Your Next Step session.

It’s one deep, focused conversation designed to untangle the noise and help you make your next move—without pressure, performance, or overhauls.

A moment of clarity, just for you.
