Give every leader the skills to coach their people with confidence.
In a world shaped by AI, how leaders connect with their people matters more than ever. Yet few ever get feedback on how they actually coach. Ovida gives leaders at every level private, specific feedback on real conversations and a safe place to practice. Coaching then becomes part of how your organization leads.
In an age of AI, human conversations set organizations apart.
As technology takes on more of the routine work, the way people communicate with each other and with clients matters more than ever. The ability to build strong relationships through great conversations is becoming one of an organization's most valuable strengths. Leaders who coach well build trust, draw out better ideas and help their people grow.
Ovida uses AI to strengthen these human skills, not replace them.
This is for you if you want to:
- build a coaching culture or a leader-as-coach program
- help leadership learning carry into everyday conversations
- show your executive team measurable change in leadership behavior
Training alone changes everyday practice only modestly.

People leave a workshop or program motivated. Then the day job takes over. Ovida helps them practice and consolidate what they learned, with feedback on real conversations and practice scenarios.
A workshop is delivered to everyone in the room. Ovida meets each person where they are, focusing on the skills that matter most for their development.
Built for every level of leadership
The depth and nuance of the feedback make Ovida as useful for your executive team as for someone leading people for the first time.
Build the basics: listening well, asking open questions and agreeing clear next steps.
Sharpen the harder skills: holding silence, challenging well and handing over ownership.
Get detailed, private insight on the conversations that shape your organization and define your career, between sessions with your executive coach.
How it works for your leaders
- Step 1Bring a real conversation
Leaders bring a real conversation, such as a one-to-one or a team meeting, with everyone's consent. Or they start with a practice scenario.
- Step 2Get private, specific feedback
Ovida reviews the conversation against your leadership model and points to the moments that mattered.
- Step 3Get coaching on what to do next
Ovida's AI coach explains what worked, what to try differently and why. Each leader gets clear guidance and a personal development plan for the next step.
- Step 4Practice until it feels natural
Leaders can practice in the way that suits them. They can pick up from a moment in a real conversation and try it differently, talk a skill through with their AI coach, or rehearse it in a realistic scenario. They can go again as often as they like, then take it into their next real conversation.
Measured against your leadership model
Use your own leadership framework, a coaching model such as GROW, or ready-made coaching skills aligned to the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Core Competencies or the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) Global Competence Framework. Every skill is tracked on the same six levels, from Novice to Master. This gives leaders, coaches and HR one consistent way to see progress over time.
Private for individuals. Clear insight for HR.
- Everyone in a conversation, whether host or guest, controls what is recorded, kept and shared. They can withdraw permission at any time.
- No one in your organization can open a person's conversations unless that person chooses to share them. There is no admin override.
- HR and program leads see progress across the group, not individual conversations.
- SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
Works alongside your coaches and programs
Ovida doesn't replace executive coaching or your leadership programs. It builds on them. Between coaching sessions and program modules, leaders keep practicing and getting feedback. What they learn with their coach and on your programs carries into everyday work. Leaders can also invite their coach to look at a conversation with them.
Ovida enables coaching at scale. Feedback and practice are open to every leader, which allows coaching to reach well beyond the few who have a one-to-one coach.
“Our experience with Ovida has been brilliant. It's enabled our leaders to receive so much more feedback and insight.”

Which conversations can leaders work on?
The important everyday conversations that shape how people work together. For example: coaching conversations, giving difficult feedback, delegating, influencing without authority, handling conflict, explaining decisions and career conversations. Your program can focus on the conversations that matter most to your organization.
Where do most organizations start?
Many start with practice scenarios. They move to real conversations once leaders are comfortable and everyone has given consent.
How is this different from a 360?
A 360 collects opinions, often months after the event, from people the leader has chosen. Ovida looks at what actually happened in a specific conversation, assessed against the same standard every time. Feedback arrives immediately after the conversation, points to the exact moment and lets the leader practice the part that needs work. And because it doesn't come from a colleague, there is no awkwardness in giving or receiving it. Many organizations use both.
Can HR see individual conversations?
No. Each individual controls what they share. There is no admin override and no back door.
Are our conversations used to train AI models?
No. Your conversations are used to create your feedback and nothing else.
