Content Marketing Institute has published a new video, ‘Craft Content With Intention To Avoid AI Ick’.
The CMI team says, “Can marketers still gain an advantage by artfully crafting content in a landscape dominated by AI, algorithms, and content-by-committee? The answer may lie in the details. Robert Rose argues that adding more emotional details doesn’t make a story more resonant. Rather, it’s the intention and judgment behind which details you add — and which you don’t.

Coaching Client Progress – Reality Check needed (free template) #ad
Reality checks are often needed to make sure we are still on the path we intended to take. For example, do your clients or customers highly value what you offer them? Are they actually implementing it?
Are you a coach or consultant finding yourself puzzled by clients who express a desire to reach their goals but seem unable to progress toward those goals? Have you caught yourself wondering:
– “What’s stopping this person from moving forward?”
– “Why do some of my clients start with enthusiasm but then lose momentum?”
– “Is there something in my approach that’s affecting my client’s progress, or is it a deeper issue?”
If these thoughts resonate with you, then this quick reality check could be just what you need. This tool offers a simple yet insightful way to assess your clients’ progress, especially those who have become stalled, slowed down, or veered off course.
Here’s how to use the Reality Check Template:
Make copies of the template and fill out one for each client. Spend just 5–10 minutes on each, allowing your observations to guide your responses without overthinking. By completing this ‘Reality Check,’ you’ll gain a clearer picture of where your client stands and what they need to advance.
Remember, this isn’t about passing judgment on your clients or yourself. It’s about identifying patterns that might be overlooked, helping you to better support your clients’ journeys.
