We've become obsessed with perfect outcomes, but real growth happens in the struggle of learning. Listening, choosing your words carefully, deciding who you want to become as a leader or partner: that's where mastery lives. AI can help, but only if you're still doing the work yourself.
When you enter a relationship, you have to make choices to learn how to listen. You have to do that. And so the AI conversation is, well, what kind of person do you want to be? What kind of leader do you want to be? What kind of partner do you want to be? What choice are you going to make? We're in a society right now that is so obsessed with the net result, the end result. Like, I want to write the perfect apology. I want to write the perfect press release. I want to write the perfect blog post. You know, we're all wearing metrics devices and like we're all so obsessed with the metric and the end result that we've forgotten the value of the process. We've forgotten the value of the heart. It's not just the head. It's the struggle of the process that makes you a better partner, a better boss, a better employee, that you're choosing to be a better version of yourself. Now, AI can absolutely live alongside. It can be one of the resources you call upon. But I would like to learn the skill, and I would like others to learn the skill too. I don't want them to just say the perfect thing. I want them to know why they're choosing those words.
