AI is here
|
Hi Reader How are you doing? Last week was very interesting as there was a knee jerk reaction on how AI is coming after the software sector. Well, if you are not following it, it's ok. Long story short. There was a huge correction in the market valuation of all the IT service companies. And largely attributed to Anthropic's latest launch. This is just the beginning of the effects that we are seeing. AI is already here and it's scary at one end and exciting at the other end. Why exciting? The big tech has democratised the availability of the intelligence. Yup. That's how I'm seeing it. More than tools and power, I feel you have access to unlimited and collective intelligence. In lay man terms, it's housed in black boxes called models. There are different kinds of them. At the bare minimum, you'd need to understand how to use models for your advantage. You can create a custom model for yourself based on what's your use case. For example, yesterday, during a coaching call, we created a custom GPT model called "Contest Speech Architect". And it's going to be fun playing with it. We are very excited to see it'll pan out to come up with the script. Learn what it is, and see what you can do with it in an ethical way. I guess that's super important. That's it from me, and have a great week ahead. As always, thanks for being awesome! Rama

Hi Reader, Most people think they struggle in meetings because they’re not confident. That’s not the real problem. The real problem? They’re unprepared for the moments that matter. Let me explain. Important conversations at work are actually predictable. Your boss will ask for updates.. Stakeholders will ask questions.. Someone will challenge your idea,, You’ll get a chance to talk about your work,, And yet…Most people walk into these moments hoping they’ll say the right thing. They don’t....
Hi Reader Let me describe a conversation you might have had. You’re sitting in a room with key stakeholders—your boss, their boss, and cross-functional leaders. You’ve worked hard all quarter. You delivered results. Yes, you also handled pressure. And this is your moment. Someone asks: “So… can you share updates from your area?” And you say something like: “Yeah… things are going okay… we’ve been working on a few areas… team is doing a great job… lot of work pressure…” You downplay your wins....
Hi Reader Have you ever walked out of a meeting thinking, “I should’ve said that”? Or you did say something…and people did not pay attention. As in, it just didn’t land. There was no reaction or follow-up questions. But after 5 minutes, someone else says something similar…And suddenly everyone is engaged? They get the nods, the attention and of course the credit. And you’re left sitting there wondering, “What's going on, and what am I missing?” You may ignore once, but then it may happen...
