Dear John, For thousands of years our economy was based on “muscle.” How much work can you do? Not too long ago with the advent of the computer and technology age, we moved to the “brain” economy or the knowledge economy. Shift Now we are in for another huge shift. With the advance of A.I., the type of work and skills needed for the knowledge economy are becoming obsolete. What professionals, programers, engineers, etc spend most of their time doing will now be done automagically in seconds by A.I. The New Economy As we leave the knowledge economy, we will be moving into the “heart” and relationship economy. A.I. will provide the data instantly and now the real value we will bring will be the values, virtues, and wisdom we use to apply the knowledge, and our ability to build deep and meaningful trust based relationships. “In the past, jobs were about muscles. Now they’re about brains, but in the future, they’ll be about the heart.” Minouche Shafik - President of Columbia University A.I. and Coaching The short answer to leveraging A.I. to enhance your life, your business, and your relationships depends on your skill in asking (prompting) A.I. the right questions. Excelling in the heart economy will be determined by the virtues you walk out and your ability to build great relationships, which also depends on the questions you ask and the motive behind the questions. If you are a Coach, you have an enormous advantage as you are already focused on the skills necessary to win in the new economy! Choose To Win! Tom |
