A live, high-stakes experiment featuring Master Coach Eli Blair and Maya, our AI Coaching Agent. Witness the future of talent development as they both tackle a real-world leadership crisis in real-time.
Hosted Live on February 11, 2026.
One "Accidental Manager." One Toxic Team Member. Two Very Different Coaches.
The Scenario
Jordan, a high-growth manager, is struggling with "Sam," a top performer whose toxic behavior is threatening team morale. Jordan is conflict-avoidant and fears losing his best worker.
The Goal
Evaluate how both human and AI coaches build trust, run realistic role-plays, and provide actionable feedback under pressure.
The Comparison: Human vs. AI
| Feature | Human: Eli Blair | AI: Maya (myAgentsAI) |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Deep Empathy & Reflection. Focused on the leader's internal state and long-term values. | Precision & Strategy. Focused on immediate problem-solving and tactical role-play. |
| The Result | Jordan felt heard and explored his fear of being disliked. | Jordan practiced the actual words to say in a simulated high-stakes role-play. |
| Expert Take | "Eli was outstanding in the rapport he created... a lot more humane." | "The AI was incredible. The questions were super precise, super sharp." |
"Uncovering a Blind Spot" was the audience's top desired coaching outcome.
