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!

(not sure if you have heard about him. I'm assuming you have not.) And for most of his life, he didn’t speak. Not occasionally. Not at all!!! When I first read that, I had the same reaction you probably have right now: “How can someone teach… without speaking?” I assumed it was symbolic. Maybe exaggerated. It...

Hi Reader, Most career growth conversations don’t happen during annual appraisals. They happen in small moments. A quick update in a meeting. A casual question from your boss. A stakeholder asking, “So how’s that project going?” And strangely… those small moments decide a lot. Here’s where many people go wrong. Someone (Ok, mostly it's your boss) asks, “How’s the project going?” And the answer sounds like this: “Yeah… it’s going okay… we had an issue, and team worked on it. There were a few...

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....
