Hosted by Paul Wan – Executive Coach and AI & Cybersecurity Advisor

Date: 26 Nov 2026 | Time: 6:30pm to 8:30pm | Venue : TBC

On 26th November, Paul invites you to explore Ethan Mollick’s new book, Co-Existence: The Next Phase of AI. Not as a book summary, but as a reflective conversation about coaching, and being human, alongside AI that is “sometimes, but not always, better than you”.

Why This Book, Why This Host

Mollick’s bestseller Co-Intelligence taught us how to get help from AI. Co-Existenceasks a harder question: how do we work with AI that now outperforms us at some things that matter, yet fails at others nobody expected? His answer is to sharpen what stays human: deep knowledge, wide knowledge, taste and agency.

Paul has lived this question. In his final years in banking, rapid technology change created a clear need for leaders to transform how they work, along with real anxiety and confusion. The more an organisation digitises and automates, the more pressure falls on its leaders to listen actively, work as team players and build trust. Having experienced the power of leading with a coaching mindset, Paul is now committed to championing it. That journey also shaped his Trust Trio: trust between people, in systems and in AI is one leadership job, not three.

What This Session Offers You

• A practical way to think about when AI helps our coaching, and when it quietly takes away the struggle our clients need to grow      
• Dialogue about the human advantages Mollick names, and which ones we bring, and build, as coaches    
•  A fresh look at the research, including a study where an AI mentor helped some entrepreneurs and set others back     
• A chance to reflect on your own relationship with AI: curious, cautious, or somewhere in between      
• One simple lens, the Trust Trio, to take back to your clients and your practice

You don’t need to have read the book or be technical. Just bring your curiosity.
