When you’re helping someone grow - whether you’re a coach, leader, manager, or mentor - conversations often touch on areas that feel deeply personal and private. You already understand the benefits of using Ovida to capture and reflect on these moments, but it’s natural that clients or participants may feel hesitant about being recorded. Vulnerability isn’t easy, and the thought of having it “on record” can sometimes make people uneasy.
What many Ovida users have found is that a few clear, honest explanations can make all the difference. When people understand why recording helps them and how their privacy is protected, they’re much more open to the process.
Why recording helps both you and your client
Ovida gives you - and the people you work with - a unique opportunity to see communication in action. Our AI insights reveal patterns in tone, pacing, and body language that are almost impossible to notice in the moment. Reviewing these recordings allows you to spot what’s working, what’s not, and how small changes can lead to big improvements.
For you, this means becoming a more effective communicator, facilitator, or leader. And as you grow, your clients, colleagues, and teams reap the benefits - through stronger relationships, clearer conversations, and better results.
For your clients or participants, the benefit is just as powerful. Many describe the experience of watching themselves back as eye-opening and transformative. They notice things they never realized before - a habit, a pattern, a strength they hadn’t fully owned. With Ovida, these insights don’t just stay in the session; they carry forward into future conversations, creating lasting change.
Building trust through transparency
It’s important to acknowledge that recording can feel intimidating. That’s why being upfront matters. You can reassure clients that:
They’re in control too: Participants always have the choice to delete recordings, and nothing is stored without consent.
Their privacy is protected: Ovida is built with data security and GDPR compliance at its core, so sensitive conversations stay safe. You can find more information in our Trust center and in our Privacy policy.
At its heart, Ovida is about helping people become the best communicators they can be - whether they’re clients, team members, or leaders themselves. And that’s something most people are proud to be part of.
