A 20-year coaching practice, encoded, not summarised.

D Jungle People asked us to take their workshops digital. We found the real opportunity wasn’t content, it was presence. So we built a voice-first AI coach instead.

The Brief

What they came to us with.

On the surface: “help us take our workshops digital.” The default brief was a polished e-learning product, the kind of build most agencies would have run with.

Through discovery we found the gap was not content. The gap was presence, the hardest leadership moments don’t happen in a training room.

Our Approach

How we worked.

Building a content library would have put a 20-year coaching firm into a market about to be commoditised by AI. We recommended the path not taken.

We built Pocket Coach: a voice-to-voice AI coaching companion trained on DJP’s proprietary frameworks and modelled on John Kam’s actual coaching style.
