Navigating AI with Emotional Intelligence: Expanding Beyond Comfort Zones

Navigating AI with Emotional Intelligence

AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a transformative journey.

My experience of taking the time to learn AI has transformed the way I look at my life, the lives of others, and business approaches. As someone who has worked in transformation sciences for over 30 years, I have never been so excited by what’s possible. Yet, AI is driving up so much discomfort and dissonance. Imagine you’re on the open road of life, making pivotal decisions, and AI is your co-pilot. The secret to mastering this ride? Embracing mind shifts that take you beyond comfort into transformative truths.
