"Will you be putting your genius into an AI tool?"

I have been asked this a couple of times in the past couple of weeks.

My answer is no. At least not yet.

Evaluating this question made me pause and reflect on where I want my career and business to go.

The number one reason is that I specialize in human connection.

My clients hire me to talk to a person. A big part of the value is time spent with another human being even if it is over Zoom.

In fact, it was through 1:1 conversations with many of you that I thought more deeply about the impact I want to make on the world. I want to be more eco-friendly as my company grows. Training AI models has a significant environmental impact and requires computing resources.

I know many of you are some of the great minds working to make that more efficient, but for now, I'm going to continue to focus on what I do best — working face-to-face with human beings as their trusted partner.

How would you answer this question? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Consistency is important. But it is also important to disconnect.

This week I'm making sure to be present with family for vacation.

Do the opposite.

That challenge was thrown down by a mentor to buck the trends and follow my instinct.

So, I decided to go old school to write my monthly newsletter.

No AI.

I went back to a writing circle to get human feedback.

The result: Instead of crickets, I received beautiful responses including requests to schedule calls about the Momentum Sprint.

And while I love discovery calls, more meaningful to me were the emails describing how the email resonated and inspired.

“Great reminder to introduce you to anyone I know who would also benefit.”

This line was my favorite because it reflected the trust I had built with that person.

As a bonus, it also took me half the time compared to my prior AI-assisted newsletters.

Even though the AI can capture my voice, I spend a great deal of time getting the message to match the soul of my business. Even though subtle, I think my subscribers sensed the disconnect.

Don’t get me wrong, AI deserves its space in my toolbox. It definitely helps me in many ways.

People are at the heart of who I serve, and I feel no matter how close to my voice AI comes, people still feel the human touch.

Join my email list, or even better reach out to schedule a coffee chat, with a message to [email protected]. Whether you want to work with me or not, I always love the opportunity to connect human to human.

I find myself comparing myself to others more than I would like.

Then I realized something during my fit calls with prospective clients.

The ones who say yes choose me because I’m bringing my unique experiences, perspectives, and offering to serve their needs. That’s what resonates.

Where do you feel you are trying to be a second-rate version of someone else instead of the first-rate version of your brilliant self?
