😇🥱 Let’s Talk Attitude, Not Just AI
As we turn the page to 2024, the internet bombards us with “AI trends for 2024”. You’ve seen them all, so let’s skip the trend talk. What really matters to me, my team, and my mentees in 2024 (and beyond)?
First, some context about me. I’m a marketing leader focused on B2B in tech, teaching leadership, creativity, and agile methodologies. New tools and AI have made us more productive and cost-efficient, which I applaud. But they don’t replace the need for self-development and a proactive attitude.

Yes, you can use vitamins to offset a poor diet.
Yes, you can take painkillers to ease pains from a sedentary lifestyle.
Yes, you can moan about poor sleep, but if you’re binge-watching or scrolling through your phone at night, aren’t you choosing that over rest?
Yes, you can ignore AI tools and skill development, risking obsolescence in a year. The choice is yours, as are the long-term consequences.
Let’s make conscious decisions and stop using time as an excuse. Anything else is self-delusion.

This TED Talk, How to live passionately — no matter your age, was a lifeline when I was deeply depressed. Isabel Allende says, “So how can I stay passionate?
