Introducing AI Coaches
Practice was only half the job.
You could rehearse the hard conversation. You could get the score, the snapshot, the exact line that landed — and the one that didn't. Then you were on your own. The insight sat on the page. Nobody sat with you in it.
That changes today.
AI coaches are live on Real Talk Studio. You can create them. You can attach them to roleplays. You can talk to them. And you can make one that looks like you, sounds like you, and coaches with your knowledge.
This is the missing half of practice: the conversation after the conversation.
Two ways to use a coach
1. Debrief after a roleplay
Finish a roleplay. Get your feedback. Then tap Debrief with me.
The coach is already there — sitting on the snapshot, looking at the same session you just ran. They have the transcript. They have the moment that mattered. They have the improvement you keep missing. This is not a generic "how did that feel?" chatbot. It is a live conversation about this attempt: the turn that shifted, the phrasing you used, the choice you avoided.
I have already linked a coach to the existing roleplays. Give one a go — at the end you will see the coach debrief waiting for you.
The debrief runs alongside the report. You stay on the results. The coach sits with you while you review them. You can slow down at the exact line. You can argue with the note. You can leave with one behaviour to try next time — not a pile of advice you will forget by Thursday.
This is how practice becomes learning. The roleplay gives you evidence. The coach makes you use it.
2. A standalone coaching session
Not every conversation needs a counterpart to practise against. Sometimes you need a coach.
Talk through a leadership challenge. Strategise an upcoming conversation. Work a problem before you walk into the room. Book six minutes with a coach who already knows how you work — or start from a blank page and tell them what you want to focus on today.
This is not a roleplay. There is no persona on the other side pretending to be your report, your customer, or your board. There is a coach. They ask. They reflect. They challenge. They help you think.
Start a coaching conversation with me — Toby Sinclair, leadership coach — and see what a standalone session feels like.
This is not a roleplay
Roleplays are for rehearsal. You step into a scene. Someone on the other side has a job, a mood, a reason to resist you. You practise the conversation you will have for real.
Coaches are for the work around that conversation: advice, mentoring, reflection, strategy. They help you prepare, make sense of what just happened, and decide what you will do differently.
You needed both. You only had one. Now you have both — and you can attach a coach to any roleplay so the debrief is waiting the moment the session ends.
Build a coach in your image
Every coach is fully customisable. Not a name and a stock photo. The whole approach.
Style, tone, and method. Write the coaching style in plain language. Curious and slow, or sharp and commercial. Questions only, or advice when asked. Open conversation, or a strict sequence. You set the psychological approach — not a vendor's default personality.
Philosophy, credibility, audience, and boundaries. Define what they believe. What they have done. Who they are for. Where they stop — and when they should refer out. A coach that will not give HR, legal, or clinical advice is a coach you can put in front of a team.
Your face. Upload your own image and create a coach of yourself. Your learners debrief with you — at scale, at 11pm, after the attempt they would never have booked a real session for.
Your knowledge. Train the coach on how you coach. Your frameworks. Your language. Your standards. The stories you always come back to. The result is not a generic leadership bot. It is a coach that coaches like you.
The coaches you can create
Start from a specialism, or invent your own.
- Real Talk Coach — debrief a roleplay while the attempt is still warm
- Leadership Coach — people, influence, and the conversations managers avoid
- Executive Coach — senior leaders under pressure, making the call only they can make
- Startup Coach — founders on focus, funding, and the one conversation that unlocks progress
- Career Coach — direction, promotion, interviews, the next move
- Life Coach — purpose, balance, and the goals that keep slipping
- Relationship Coach — communication and conflict with the people who matter
- Sales Coach — pipeline, objections, deal reviews, the call that stalled
- Performance Coach — habits, consistency, mindset
- Wellbeing Coach — stress, energy, burnout before it becomes a crisis
- Communication Coach — presence, storytelling, speaking when the room is watching
- Your own — any approach, any style, any niche. If you can describe how you coach, you can build it
Attach any of them to a roleplay and the debrief is part of the product — not an optional extra you hope people book later.
Try it now
Two doors. Both open.
Try a roleplay, then debrief with a coach. No login. A few minutes. At the end, the coach is waiting.
Or skip the roleplay and talk to a coach. A standalone session with me — leadership challenges, upcoming conversations, the problem you have been carrying.
Practice got you into the room. The coach is how you leave it better.
