What is Nadia?

How do I log in?

You can log in here - coach.valence.co. Use your work email to set up your account or log in. If you have issues, please reach out to us at hi@valence.co

Is there a cost associated to using the AI Coach?

Please speak to a member of your HR team to get clarity!

Are my conversations private?

Your conversations are private. Nobody from your organization (Your leader, HR partner, or system administrators) can access your conversations. We also do not use your conversations to train the underlying AI.

The platform has enterprise grade security. If you have any questions, you can refer to this document, or reach out to our team at hi@valence.co

How should I leverage the AI Coach?

We have a list for inspiration here. However, the standard advice is to talk to Nadia just like a human, in the language of your preference about your common challenges at work you'd like a hand with!

However, Nadia can help with virtually any issue at work, including

  • role playing a difficult conversation

  • helping prepare for an important meeting/presentation

  • navigating workplace conflict

What if the AI Coach gives guidance on a sensitive topic?

The AI Coach is trained to not address sensitive topics around Employee Relations, DEI issues, harassment, etc. Instead it will direct employees to speak with HR on these topics.

Can this be as good as human coaches?

The intention is not to 100% replicate what a human coach can do – the AI does many things a traditional coach can do, and many things that traditional coaching cannot.

It provides affordable, effective leadership support to all managers, many of whom do not have access to a coach.

It provides instant on-demand coaching in your choice of language so leaders can receive support whenever they need it for tactical and strategic matters.

What if the AI Coach doesn’t use the right framework?

The AI Coach examines a large number of frameworks to evaluate the most appropriate choice in any situation and Valence has trained the coach on the most effective models.

The Coach can be trained on org-specific models, and then consistently apply them to the whole enterprise.

Can Nadia be Customized?

Yes! We’ve worked with several of our existing clients to train Nadia on bespoke frameworks, organization values, etc. Please reach out to us (hi@valence.co) if you want to talk more about customizations.
