LinkedIn Post

💡 "Each of those jobs has a lot of tasks that are suitable for AI, and usually AI can amplify what you’re doing in those areas. You generally want to keep the human in the loop, because AI isn’t good enough to do everything by itself. But there is about $7 trillion in value there." – from the Wall Street Journal article How Companies Can Use Generative AI

Today is the perfect day to explore how AI can amplify your work as a leader, consultant, coach, or advisor. Generative AI is reshaping industries, and the opportunity to leverage it for the tasks we tackle daily is simply too significant to ignore.

Here’s the thing: AI isn’t about replacing you—it’s about partnering with you. Tools like these can handle repetitive or time-consuming tasks, freeing you up to focus on higher-value work. Whether it’s automating administrative tasks, generating insights, or even assisting with creative brainstorming, AI can amplify your impact.

And for those of us who consider technology a solid second language—but not our native tongue—don’t let that hold you back. AI is being used to fly fighter jets without a pilot. Trust me, you’re not going to break it by experimenting with a new tool!

Start small:

✅ Identify one task today that AI could help you with.

✅ Experiment with available tools to see what works best for you.

✅ Stay curious, iterate, and don’t be afraid to mess around.

The potential is massive—$7 trillion, according to the WSJ article—but only if we begin. Let’s embrace AI as a tool for growth, not a hurdle to overcome.
