Summary
AI certainly is impressive. It's fast, it's capable, and it's completely incapable of transforming you. In this episode, Susan makes the case that the smartest professionals in the room are falling into the seductive trap of using AI to patch over the one gap that only real, human, relational coaching can close. This isn't a technology debate, but rather a wake-up call about personal and professional presence, your voice and visibility, and what it takes to break through in this age of AI overload. Susan also breaks down the two camps of high-achieving professionals who've leaned on AI, eventually stalled out, and why both are experiencing the same ceiling despite all that downloaded information. ** Don't even know where to begin in improving your people skills?
