The coaching profession has historically required learners to show up on someone else's schedule, in someone else's timezone, at someone else's pace. That model works for some people. It excludes many others.
At Radiant, we use AI intentionally and thoughtfully to dismantle that barrier. We have built AI-powered practice tools that allow busy leaders, caregivers, neurodiverse learners, and anyone whose life does not fit a fixed class schedule to develop their coaching skills on their own terms, at their own pace, whenever they are able to show up.
This commitment is also personal. As a disabled founder, there are days and seasons when working on someone else's timeline is simply not possible. Radiant was built to reflect a different model: one where access is not an afterthought but the foundation. AI is one of the tools that makes that real.
Using AI at Radiant is not about cutting corners. It is about making sure that rigorous, high-quality coaching education is available to people whose lives are full, whose bodies are variable, and who deserve flexibility without sacrificing depth.
Radiant's use of AI is guided by four non-negotiable principles. These apply to leadership, faculty, trainers, mentor coaches, and students alike.
AI exists at Radiant to expand access to learning, not to replace human connection or judgment. Every AI tool we build or use is evaluated through the question: does this make quality coaching education more available?
We disclose when and how AI is used in our operations. We do not obscure AI involvement in communications, content, or learning tools.
AI supports our work. It does not replace human judgment in any decision that affects a student's learning, assessment, evaluation, or wellbeing.
No personally identifiable student information, session content, or coaching practice material is entered into any AI tool. Student privacy is non-negotiable.
Radiant has developed AI-powered tools specifically designed to give students access to coaching skill practice outside of scheduled live sessions. These tools allow students to:
This matters because leaders are busy. Our students are executives, entrepreneurs, caregivers, and practitioners who are already carrying full lives. Requiring every skill-building moment to happen in a live session is a structural barrier. Our AI practice tools remove that barrier without removing the rigor.
Radiant's AI-powered learning tools were built with specific people in mind. If you see yourself in any of the following, these tools were made for you.
Your schedule does not have a lot of white space. AI practice tools mean your coaching development does not have to wait for the one hour a week that happens to be free.
Not everyone learns best in a live, linear, timed format. Our tools are designed to support different ways of processing, practicing, and integrating new skills.
Some days are not good days. Our tools allow you to engage with your learning when your body and capacity allow, without falling behind or missing out.
Radiant serves students across time zones. AI-powered asynchronous practice means your geography does not determine your access to skill development.
In alignment with the 2025 ICF Code of Ethics: faculty who coach privately and use AI tools in any part of that practice must disclose this to their individual clients in accordance with ICF standards. This applies to all faculty regardless of whether the coaching is conducted under the Radiant banner.
Radiant recognizes that AI tools are part of the professional landscape students will navigate as coaches. Our standards are designed to support critical engagement with AI while protecting the integrity of your coaching development and your credential pathway.
As you develop your coaching practice, you may choose to use AI tools in administrative or business capacities. Radiant encourages thoughtful, ethical engagement with these tools. In alignment with the 2025 ICF Code of Ethics, you are required to disclose to your clients any use of AI tools that involve their data or session content, including transcription tools, storage systems, or analysis software. This is not optional. It is an ICF ethical standard and a standard Radiant expects all graduates to uphold.
Radiant is committed to ongoing transparency about how AI tools evolve within our organization. As AI capabilities and ICF guidance continue to develop, this policy will be updated to reflect current practice. Students, faculty, and stakeholders will be informed of any material changes to how AI is used at Radiant.
If you ever have a question about whether something was AI-assisted, you are welcome and encouraged to ask. Transparency is not just a policy at Radiant. It is a value.
If you believe that AI has been used in a way that is inconsistent with this policy, including in the assessment of your work, the generation of feedback you received, or the handling of your personal data, please report your concern to:
All concerns will be reviewed under Radiant's Disciplinary Procedures, Grievances, and Appeals Policy. Retaliation for raising a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.
Given the pace of change in AI technology and ICF guidance, this policy will be reviewed every six months and updated as needed. The most current version will always be available on Radiant's policies page.
