How To Find Your Power

‘Choosing the path less traveled may be challenging, but it can lead to extraordinary destinations.’

‘Be too good to be ignored.’

‘No matter who you are, what you do, how much money you make, or how successful you become, nothing lasts forever, and sometimes, it is just time to move on.’

‘Glass ceilings are made to be broken.’

‘Learning how to ask for, and get, what you want is a skill that will serve you well your entire life.’

‘The hardest part of looking for a job is often the last step before success. Keep pushing through, for just around the corner, your next great adventure could begin.’

‘When you focus on making a life, instead of making a living, you often end up with the best of both worlds.’

‘Never be afraid to know your value, in dollars and cents. Professionals who know what they are worth, what others are paid, and when to move on to a job that pays more, ultimately find themselves in positions where they are paid fairly.’

‘Being loyal to yourself should always come ahead of being loyal to anyone or anything else.’

‘Sometimes, all we need is a bit of an identity crisis to figure out where we belong.’

‘Always be on the lookout for new friends, new connections, and new opportunities; people have landed jobs because of someone they talked to in an elevator, airplane, or bar.’

Your AI strategy isn't a strategy if your competitor can copy it in a quarter.

MIT Sloan just published something you might want to ruminate on. The argument is straightforward: AI fails the basic test of sustainable competitive advantage because it's neither unique nor inimitable. Capital, talent, algorithms, even proprietary data, all of it is converging. Smaller models are catching up to larger ones. Open-source is closing the gap. The moat you think you're building is filling in as fast as you dig.

The part that should sting for most executives is this: the companies that win won't win because of AI. They'll win because of what their people do with it that nobody else thought to do.

That means that it isn't what AI tools you're buying. It's whether you're still investing in the humans who know your customers, your market, and your blind spots well enough to make a move no model would predict.

If you gutted your talent development budget to fund AI infrastructure, you may have traded the thing that can't be commoditized for the thing that already is.
