The AI Coaching Assistant - Protégée FEBRUARY 2026

Technology Meets Humanity

Want something more flexible, always available and personalized to you?

Leadership growth doesn’t stop when our session ends.
With the AI Coaching Assistant, Protégée, you have a private, always-available reflection partner that reinforces your progress because lasting change happens in the moments between sessions.

Human in the Loop

Protégée is built with safety protocols and is trained to coach, not advise.

It is only available to people who are currently or have previously been engaged in regular coaching with Ruth.

It is built by TechBridge Unlimited on Microsoft Azure infrastructure.

It works alongside, not instead of, human coaching.

Protégée is awake when you are! 

Maybe you want to update your plan, revisit a commitment, rethink your timeline, or simply reflect on a tough day.

With Protégée, you can have a coaching-style conversation at any time. And when you need more, it will nudge you back toward a live (human) coaching session.

Protégée is Great for Planning

Our human coaching sessions are unscripted and often lead to surprising directions. As the session “settles” afterward, you process your discoveries and decide what to do next.

That’s when you want to plan and commit to action.

Protégée is uniquely positioned to support you as you:

  • Turn insight into action

  • Break big changes into manageable steps

  • Track your progress over time

Is this for you?

Working with Ruth tends to feel right if you are:


  • Highly capable, conscientious, and used to being the one who holds things together
  • Successful on paper, but privately tired, overloaded, or quietly restless
  • Prone to overthinking, over-functioning, or carrying emotional and cognitive load for others
  • Drawn to depth and honesty—not hype, hustle, or quick fixes
  • Ready for agency and clarity, not rescue
  • Interested in sustainable success, even if it means doing things differently


You don’t need to be broken.

You don’t need to hit rock bottom.

And you don’t need to reinvent yourself.


You do need to be willing to tell the truth about what your current way of operating is costing you,

This Work Is Not a Fit If…

  • You’re looking for motivation, cheerleading, or a productivity hack
  • You want someone to tell you what to do without questioning the system you’re in
  • You prefer staying busy to slowing down long enough to notice what’s actually happening
  • You’re not ready to examine how pressure, responsibility, and vigilance shaped you

That’s not a judgment. It’s about fit.


I care about being a valuable resource to my clients, not the right answer for everyone.

Professional  Coaching

On your terms

Security & Safety

Your privacy, safety, and psychological safety are top priorities.

Not everyone is comfortable using AI. We are skeptically and cautiously curious. We chose TechBridge Unlimited as our partners because they take these matters as seriously as we do.

Throughout our coaching work, we reference the ICF standards and competencies. We encourage you to review:
