Kate, one of our things that we do on every podcast is we end with a big action and then we review it the next morning.
And so last week we talked about power skills or like these human side of work and the things that humans bring that AI can't take away from us.
And so we asked our audience to kind of lean in, think about one of those kind of skills, and be very conscientious of how you use that skill over the week.
And if you were thinking about something like critical thinking, judgment, what kind of things do you use in a weekly basis that would be more human than AI? So I
think this social skills required to know when to say no to an opportunity are something that you learn along the way.
But I think more often than not, just knowing that when that interpersonal connection skill you learn of realizing like when someone is really bsing you or when they're kind of leading you down a path that is better for them than it is for you um you know because there's so many times where when i was early on in business i thought everything was an opportunity and i think you you develop that over time where you're like actually this is not an opportunity like you're not going to be Goldilocks going and talking to the, your grandmother is the wolf every time, you know? So I think that's something that, that AI can't really, it can kind of help.
And I know that there's sales tools where the person on the other side can, there's AI that interprets how the other person is responding and tells the salesperson, like it like reads the social cues, but I don't think that that overrides actual like going through the workforce and learning and finding the snakes and finding the people who are actually amazing and great mentors in business.
Brie, we've never had any experience with people that might be not truthful to us in business, have we? You want to go
I'm going to very briefly turn my camera off while I give the answer because I have to go Riverside.
So just I'm going to talk while moving and then I will appear magically in a new location.
And I also think even though they're trying to build in these judgment factors, I think for me, when I was thinking about this topic, it's still one of the number one things for me in terms of how to do stakeholder kind of management and judgment around that.
And it doesn't matter how many cool tools you can add into like yes you can do the you know like here's the circumstance but I think there's just usually we are not going to put in like and that's what I find is when you're using it it's like you're not going to put in all of the different um components that make up that scenario to be true it's like you'll say okay it's listening but it's like it's not seeing the verbal cues it's not understanding the series of emails that went to that stakeholder over the course of a few weeks so like what's relevant and time for now so unless you're giving it an all the time rundown of every interaction that's happening with that stakeholder Also, like you might have seen on LinkedIn, like, oh, something happened and that's going to cause a certain perception of that customer.
