Dima Syrotkin is the visionary force behind Pandatron.ai 

Dima’s mission is to enhance the self-awareness and maturity of everyone, and his business Pandatron.ai helps accomplish that by making coaching more accessible by AI. He lives his life between San Francisco USA & Helsinki Finland and runs a fascinating podcast called Moonshots.

 

In today’s episode Dimas Syrotkin shares:

 

  • How transformation programs fail because of mindset, behaviour, and culture
  • Why do large organizations find problems in trying to coach thousands of people, and how can AI help with this?
  • How AI can identify patterns of what people are struggling with (anonymously) and give practical insights can be gleaned from the data
  • That there is typically an 80% adoption rate within organizations so far.
  • His journey of raising VC funds and his Pashto profitability this year.
  • How ‘Delegation’ has been the key to growing his start-up and attracting high-caliber team members. 
  • Life-Changing Questions:
    • “Who are you?” This helps you uncover what is important for you and helps you become more self-aware and mature.  This led Dima to create a scalable business to positively impact more people.
    • “If you were the boss, what would you do?”  This can be very powerful and helps people think of things more constructively and helps them identify actions they can take.
  • How AI may impact humans going forwards:
    • In the next 5-10 years, executive coaching for coaches should not go away because AI is not quite comparable yet, and there is a relationship between people.
    • Beyond ten years, AI coaches / human coaches may be indistinguishable; and society is changed massively since sales, customer service, lawyers, etc can also be replaced by AI.
  • Coaches can leverage this tool to help get more data and information for their executive clients.

Commitment Poem:

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. 

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), 

there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: 

that the moment one definitely commits oneself, 

then Providence moves too. 

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. 

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, 

which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. 

I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!”
