A quiet hello, and a new chapter for this newsletter
Long break, new focus, and invitation.
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I stopped writing for over a year, and I want to apologize for this long silence in your inbox.
Life happened.
Client work, workshops, events, and reflections have kept me occupied in the recent months. In the meanwhile I was also thinking a lot about how much pleasure I’ve found writing for people in this form - and I was mad at myself that I’ve dropped it.
To be completely honest, it was also about the lack of sharp focus, and a bit of a burnout from trying to squeeze as many thoughts as possible into short LinkedIn format. They say that everything has a purpose so I believe that this old rule worked also this time.
Last year led me to a clearer purpose for this newsletter, and I am excited to be back to share it with you.
Going forward, this space will be dedicated to exploring something I believe (and see almost everyday)is crucial: helping people (and myself along the way) build systems, mindset, and techniques to design a space where humans and AI naturally collaborate.
Okay, I get it. You can ask (and please always ask questions) - ‘man, okay, but what does it mean for me, and why should I care?’
I would love to share with you how:
Critical thinking is changing in the age of AI, and what you can do to stay sharp.
Humans, and machines can work best together, and where you will lose with the algorithm, as well as where the algorithm can’t compete with you.
I do the work daily, and what conversations I am having around AI with clients, people, and in between business. With all good, and bad things happening.
New developments look like through the lens of integration, and being worth your time to dive into.
Essentially, I want this place to be a space where we can think deeply about how we can leverage our human skills to create effective partnerships with technology that not only enhance us but also drive business results.
After completing almost 20 workshops with various companies this year I’ve found myself constantly asking: What does 'natural' collaboration with AI actually look and feel like, and how do we thoughtfully design for it? Without fear, and with intention, and agency.
You know that I like to ask questions, sometimes the hard ones. I hope that we will explore them together.
Thank you for sticking around. I’m looking forward to restarting this conversation with you. If you’re still there, please give me a sign as a reply to this email.
If you’re not interested - I wouldn’t be mad at all. Things change, and it’s all a natural cycle. I would love you still to give me a chance for one more mail.
Hope that you’re having an amazing weekend - wherever you’re right now.
